Richard ran his own construction contracting business for 12 years on a national basis focusing on marine and construction projects in and near water.
Richard's career has led him to work, live and visit interesting locations such as South Africa, Libya, Egypt and Stavanger in Norway and has included working in challenging environments such as the Atlantic Ocean and within the Arctic Circle; this has allowed him to fulfil my passion of being involved in engineering and providing solutions to problems.
