Career:
London Underground
Date Entered Service: July 1991
Role:
Revenue Control Inspector
Date Entered current Role 01st December 2003
Date: July 1993 to December 2003
I started with London Underground as a revenue protection inspector in July 1993, after 2
years I became part of the new Tout Squad, this comprised of 20 police officers and 20
revenue protection inspectors, this was a 1 year project and was a very successful squad
with a 98% conviction rate. We saved London Underground over £2 million pounds in
lost revenue during the project life.
At the end of the project I transferred to 55 Broadway and worked on a number of office
based projects.
From there I relocated to Ealing Common Depot where I developed and managed the
Minor Works Process and looked after a £4m budget for SSR, (Sub Surface Railway).
I had a staff of 3 persons. The work consisted of ensuring the best price for work

2. requested by the GSM of the line.
Date: December 2003 to November 2012
At the beginning of December 2003 I joined the Connect project as Building Control
Manager. This work comprised of ensuring that all work carried out for LUL Connect by
is contractors conformed to all then current legislation and LU standards. I carried out
site visits to inspect the work to ensure that it had been carried out to the correct standard
required by LU. I also managed the small works process whereby items that were not to
the correct LU / Legal standards, mainly in the Fire and Power disciplines had to be
corrected. This process would normally take around eight weeks for each item. I put
together a programme and funding that meant I had 36 contraventions corrected in 30
weeks.
At the completion of this part of the project my role changed to managing the handover
of assets to the InfraCo’s. This was a very complex role as I had to ensure that all assets
had the correct certification and met all legal requirements such as CER’s being one hour
compliant, and that all documents were to the standard required by the individual
InfraCo’s and included all the relevant information to maintain the rooms and the
equipment I them.
In order to ensure that all aspects were captured visualisation boards were used, this
meant that it was easy to track all disciplines and very quickly see which tasks had been
completed.
Once the procedure had been completed for the Metronet InfraCo the process was
repeated for Tublines. This occasion discussions resulted in a smarter handover from
lessons learnt and negotiations reduced the maintenance cost to LU from £8m to £1.2m
per year.
At this time I the process of bringing the Connect New Radio system live on the stations.
This entailed ensuring that testing at each station was carried out to the correct procedure
and reached the standard required. The first set of stations were brought in on a line
bases, this meant that some stations were running a dual radio system. This was not an
ideal situation so the process was changed to a group of station going live on the same
day. This proved to be very effective. The entire Connect system went live as per the
programme. Before each line could go live with the old radio system shut down the HRI
and the Fire Brigade had to be shown that the system was robust. I devised a system
where all the information required by the two authorities could be taken to them.
On the successful completion of all stations using the new Connect radio system I started
to manage the process of removing all the redundant radio equipment from each station.
During this process it was found that the Northern line radio and radio dating back to pre

3. legacy were not part of the contractual arrangement for removal. Discussions with
various contractors came to the conclusion that the cost to remove this redundant
equipment would be in the region of £250k - £350k. Negotiating this with our main
contractor I reduced the cost to LU to £150k
Towards the completion of this part of the Connect Project I started to manage the
Refresh Project. This part of Connect identifies and replaces all life expired equipment. It
is a complex project as new equipment has to be identified tested to meet LU and
contractual standards. The equipment is then installed in place tested and commissioned.
The commissioning process includes presenting to the Change Control Board both
technically and none technically the effect on the operational railway and how risk is
managed and alleviated.
During this process I am managing the relocation of seven GPS antennas which have
been identified as at risk due to their current location. I also assist with the Airwave
project as and when required.
Role Volunteer Work for Stroke Association
November 2013 – Present
I am the treasurer of the Spalding Group of the Stroke Association, covering usual duties

I am also increasing the awareness of stroke prevention and awareness in the
