About me

My background

I started my career in Devon with various projects in the John Lewis distribution network focusing on Processes and Work systems, also sitting on various committees including Continuous Improvement and H&S.

Following successful implementations with John Lewis I moved on to Lidl to work with their new warehouse team setting up Exeter Distribution Centre and training new staff on the systems. This was also successful and led to me returning to John Lewis to complete my retail experience in Devon.

When I moved to Glastonbury, I was integral in the growth of a local company where I formed a professional association with a computer specialist who still works with me on creating efficient, streamlined and user-friendly solutions.

I found I had a flare for identifying inefficiencies in materials handling, systems, and staff performance which enabled my employer to make significant savings in material and staff costs.

Unfortunately, at this time my wife and I suffered a period of ill health which led to a re-evaluation of my career path.

Successful implementation of e-commerce and web-based systems offered me the opportunity to concentrate my efforts on offering these skills to others.

I have now established a successful small retail business and am Director and founder of a markets and events company. I have formed The Centaur Mentor where I offer coaching to those who are struggling with the broad issues of e-commerce and offering website building and services.
