Dec 2007 - present 
Managing Director of Binmar Limited 
 Binmar Ltd was set up in December of 2007 to consolidate all 
aspects of the business. Although broadcast systems installations 
and maintenance remains the main core business for Binmar Ltd, 
electronic assembly, panel wiring and electrical projects are all 
undertaken. 
 Recent projects include the installation of new television studio 
facilities for UTV in Dublin, Ireland in the autumn of 2014 and the 
relocation of ITV Wales to the new Studio/Newsroom facility in 
Cardiff Bay in the spring of 2014, contracting to Television Systems
Ltd. In Cardiff I was involved from the initial factory pre-build, 
through to the inter-area cable installation and then to the 
completion stages installing the Production and Sound Control 
facilities, four editing suites, and voice over booths. Also included 
was the installation of studio wall boxes, the camera pods and looms 
and mobile monitor stands, and all the Information Display System 
screens around the building. 
 The company is intending to move into the fibre optic installation and 
termination market during 2015. 
1989 – Dec 2007 Freelance 
Electronic & Broadcast Systems Wireman 
 I have combined my experience in both the electronics & broadcast 
systems field to build up a wide customer base for nearly 20 years. On the 
electronics side I have worked with several local companies either at their 
premises or from home. Working from Engineers schematic drawings or 
sketches, manufacturing prototype control panels, switch panels, cable 
assemblies, printed circuit boards etc. During 2004/5 I worked for 
Schneider Electric PMS in Chippenham, Wilts, on various electro 
mechanical control systems. The work varied between compact panel 
wired, wall mounted boxes needing a high degree of dexterity to neatly 
install and wire looms and components, up to large ‘wardrobe’ sized 
cabinets (Manufactured by Sarel or Rittal e.g.) wiring components to 
terminals mounted on DIN rails and panels using single discreet wiring, 
multi-cored and ribbon cables. The job included liasing with the design 
engineers and working from their schematic drawings and wiring 
schedules. There was a degree of mechanical build and adjustment also, 
requiring measuring, marking out, drilling & tapping of the panels before 
mounting the DIN rails and components. It also included some on-site 
installation work on their power management systems. 
 I have also worked for Invensys Rail/Westinghouse Rail Systems in 
Chippenham, Wilts on various aspects of there railway signaling systems, 
including the wiring of their trackside location cases (locs) and the REB 
cabins. I have also wired racks for their projects re-signalling the London 
Underground (Metronet), and their Westpac signal box units. 
 Optimal Industrial Automation of Yate near Bristol is another company I 
have contracted to. The skills required were, similar to those mentioned 
above, for the wiring and manufacture of their automated control systems 
for the pharmaceutical industry. 
 On the broadcast side I have worked along with other subcontractors in 
the UK and abroad, for companies such as Indexlaunch Ltd (Andover), 
Television Systems Ltd., (Maidenhead), BBC TV Centre, Wood Lane 
(London), IP Kinloch (Reading), dB Broadcast (Witchford), Charter 
Broadcast (Boreham Wood), ITV Meridian Television (Southampton), and 
others. In 2003 I completed a four-year stint for ITV Meridian Television in 
Southampton and Newbury, carrying out various broadcast systems 
maintenance and systems installations and upgrades to keep a modern 
TV facility running. Sadly the merger between Granada and Carlton 
caused a downsizing of the Southampton site. Later in 2003 I spent two 
months in Lisbon, Portugal, working for TSL. Radio Television Portugal 
(RTP) was the customer and they were moving their television facility to a 
new building near the airport. I was involved mainly with the inter-area 
cable installation in the new building that included runs of well in excess of 
150 metres and covering several floors of the building. I also worked on 
the installation of the TV facilities in the new Scottish Parliament building 
in Edinburgh in the spring/summer of 2004 and various smaller local 
projects. Marriage and a move from Hampshire to the Eastern outskirts of 
Bristol in May 2004 presented new challenges and a need to build a new
client base in the South West. 
 I have had many years of experience of all types of cable installation, 
panel wiring and termination. Cable types include video co-axial, tri-axial 
camera, audio FST, PSN/PSF multicore, musiflex & star quad, data 
cat5e, cat6, RS422, RS232 & telecoms, control and multicore. Also local 
240 volt mains wiring. Terminations would be various depending upon 
application including BNC, TNC and other co-ax crimp connectors, 
EDAC/varicon crimp and solder terminals, ‘D’ type and other multipole 
solder connectors. Also screw terminals with bootlace ferrules. Most audio 
circuits are terminated using IDC Krone blocks. I have wired and dressed 
many jackfields, switch/termination panels and 19” sub assemblies. A 
major part of the job is the construction of the 19” racks, many up to 52U 
in height. Working from the engineer’s kit drawing I have to make sure the 
cabling will fit in the racks neatly with the equipment to allow for 
maintenance and expansion. This would include a degree of metal work 
modification to the original structure and installation of all relevant cable 
tray, brackets and equipment supports. Vitally important is the installation 
of the equipment cabling. Time is taken to ensure that they are formed in 
looms and dressed with care to run neatly in parallel. I have worked on 
live audio circuits in TV Newsroom conditions where mistakes are not an 
option and could take the station off air. I have been involved with 
feasibility study reports on cable route accessibility and construction 
around the building. Also liasing with engineers and project managers 
needing diplomacy and a cool head in pressured situations. I have also 
been involved with sourcing and procuring materials, and stock control. 
 
1988 – 1989 C&S Systems Ltd. Andover 
Broadcast Systems Wireman 
 Duties included preparation and installation of hundreds of cables working 
from Engineer’s drawings, schedules and floor plans. As part of the 
installation team, I was responsible for taking the job from the initial 
preparation stage through to the on site completion and acceptance by 
the customer. The installations were worldwide, but most of the contracts I 
was involved with were in the UK. Wiring and terminating cables for TV 
Studios, Edit suites, Outside Broadcast vehicles etc. 
1983 – 1988 Lethaby Numbering Systems Ltd. 
Andover 
(Part of the De La Rue group). 
Prototype Wireman/PCB Designer 
 I was responsible for wiring of prototype and production electronic 
equipment including cabinets, card frames, power supplies and sub 
assemblies. Also the computer aided design of printed circuit boards. 
1982 – 1983 Arnall Patterson Ltd 
Andover 
Electronic Trainee Technician 
 My duties for APLtd were similar to those at Lethaby’s but leaning more to 
the production and assembly side.
Security clearance 2012. London 2012 Olympics. The most prestigious of all worldwide 
sporting events required the most rigorous of security checks and 
clearance. Clearance access was achieved to all areas at the Olympic 
Park in Stratford, London, including the Press and Broadcast Centre, 
and all the satellite event venues also. 
2004. Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh. This project had many similarities 
to the one at the House of Commons in London in 1989, including the 
highest level of security clearance that is expected in this era of 
international terrorism. 
1997. Hong Kong. Top-level clearance was needed for this project for 
the Government of Hong Kong. It was the installation of temporary 
broadcast facilities for televising worldwide the handover of Hong Kong 
to China. The project took nine weeks. 
1996. EURO’96 Football Tournament. England. Top-level clearance was 
needed for this prestigious sporting event. Temporary broadcast facilities 
were installed in every one of the host Stadiums, including the TV camera 
positions, which was very handy on match days! 
1989. House Of Commons, London, England. This was the first ever 
installation of television cameras in the Houses Of Parliament which required 
top-level security clearance, as access was needed to all areas including the 
Chamber of the House Of Commons itself. 
Extracurricular 
activities 
I have supervised and trained a teenager, interested in electronics, on 
his two week Work Experience break from school.
