Now at Finch: Helping Others Strengthen Their Safety Practices
Today, I’m a Senior Process Safety Consultant at Finch Consulting, where I help clients across a wide range of industries, many of whom aren’t traditionally associated with high-hazard operations but still face serious risks.
My role includes:
- Facilitating HAZOPs and risk assessments
- Conducting DSEAR assessments and reviewing explosion protection measures
- Supporting clients with process safety audits and safety culture development
What I enjoy most is helping organisations recognise hidden risks, understand what good process safety looks like, and put practical solutions in place that genuinely work for their teams, not just on paper.
Finch Approach: Practical, Collaborative, Risk-Based
I’ve worked in challenging environments, with complex equipment, under tight timeframes, and I know that real-world operations don’t always align neatly with the textbook. My goal is to bridge the gap between compliance and reality, helping clients build risk management systems that are not only technically sound, but operationally realistic.
Whether I’m working with a multinational chemical company or a regional food manufacturer, I focus on:
- Engaging the people who run the processes
- Simplifying the complex without losing rigour
- Supporting long-term, sustainable safety performance
Final Thoughts
Process safety isn’t about avoiding enforcement notices or ticking boxes, it’s about making sure people go home safe at the end of the day, every day. I’m proud to be part of a team at Finch Consulting that helps businesses understand their risks, challenge assumptions, and take meaningful steps toward stronger, more resilient operations.
