Originally I worked in industry as an RICS-accredited Chartered Surveyor for 12 years, whilst studying part-time at Salford, before moving into academia in 1991 and, alongside Rita Newton, founded SURFACE in 1995. As a skilled teacher of both the principles and techniques of access auditing I have been a registered Access Consultant since 1999 and sat on the Advisory Panel for the National Register of Access Consultants (NRAC). I have worked to champion change at national and international levels, sitting on the British Standards Committee on Accessible Housing and the Department for Trade & Industry's Global Watch Mission on Intelligent Housing, as well as working closely with the Access Association and Local Authorities. I am part of the international group of Universal Design Educators Online and, when not promoting inclusive design, enjoy making country wines as well as home brewed beer, and tinkering with my classic 1962 Land Rover (though not all at the same time!).
