My long career with BP involved leading the development of the Speciality Chemicals business which was subsequently divested to Inspec, the forerunner of INEOS. This was followed by developing a global chemical distribution & trading business. The distribution business was sold to Internatio-Muller and now operates successfully as part of the IMCD network. After leaving BP, I became involved with developing the business and production technology for a start up company making an environmentally friendly plastic film based on Polyvinyl Alcohol. Then, with experience of leading businesses in both large and small companies, I became a lecturer for a University of Wales Business degree programme at Newbold College before joining ICIS as VP ICIS Consulting.
