Summary
With more than 28 years' experience, I advise Boards, Executive Teams and business owners on governance, compliance, leadership accountability and organisational risk.
ย
Having held senior leadership positions with organisations including Johnson & Johnson (DePuy Synthes), Sheffield City Council and the NHS, I understand the realities of leading organisations where commercial priorities, operational performance and regulatory responsibilities must all coexist. My role is to help leaders strengthen oversight, make better-informed decisions and ensure they can demonstrate effective governance when it matters most.
ย
Whilst my background is rooted in health and safety, my work extends far beyond compliance. I help organisations develop governance frameworks, assurance systems and leadership oversight that not only satisfy regulators but also improve decision-making, resilience and organisational performance.
ย
My experience spans healthcare, education, manufacturing, utilities, construction, waste and recycling, hospitality, retail and Tier 2 COMAH environments, supporting complex organisations operating within highly regulated sectors.
ย
As Founder of accuSafe Consulting, I provide strategic advice to Boards and senior leadership teams, undertake independent governance and compliance reviews, and help organisations strengthen their leadership assurance through practical, commercially focused solutions.
ย
I am also the Founder of The Compliance & Leadership Collective, an executive forum created for senior leaders who recognise that today's governance challenges cannot be solved in isolation. Bringing together expertise across health and safety, HR, employment law, insurance risk, commercial finance and leadership performance, the Collective provides independent challenge, peer insight and specialist guidance to help leaders make confident, defensible decisions.
ย
I believe effective governance is not measured by the number of policies an organisation has, but by the quality of its leadership, the strength of its oversight and its ability to demonstrate that critical risks are understood, challenged and managed.
ย
Clients value my ability to translate complex legal, regulatory and governance requirements into practical, commercially sensible advice that strengthens leadership confidence, improves organisational resilience and helps organisations stand up to scrutiny with assurance.
