    Head of the Risk Management Department

    LinkedIn

    My years of experience of interpreting legislation for employers, both small and large, have made me very familiar with those parts of the law and compliance with it that are more tricky. Being part of the conversation with the government and social partners on how to achieve two important goals with new legislation – practicality on the ground and improved wellbeing – are what gets me out of bed every day!

    Who am I?

    At the start of my career working for engineering firms in the chemicals sector, I became interested in safety. I soon realised that this was my passion, so I switched to the wonderful world of workplace wellbeing.

    Since 1998, I’ve been responsible for all risk management disciplines at Mensura. All employees in these disciplines share one passion: risk prevention!

    Expertise

    My expertise lies primarily in policy support for companies. I believe that an effective wellbeing policy should be part of a company’s wider policies. If it is seen as a standalone for which the risk prevention advisor is responsible, it will never produce an optimal return on investment.

    'Prevention is better than a cure!'
