Nine engagements, one recurring question: does the record match the physical reality, and what breaks first when it doesn't? The three most directly relevant are featured on the homepage; all nine are here. For a curated view organised by theme, see Supply Chain Assurance. The thinking behind the evidence is in the writing.
Restoring Control to a Failing Account
Role: Account Owner & Control Designer, May 2024 – September 2026
Took over an unsatisfactory supply chain account and designed the first-line controls that brought it to full compliance. Three control artefacts adopted. The fixes do not depend on one person.
Result: Full compliance restored; three control artefacts adopted; process no longer dependent on one individual.
Civilian relevance: control design, audit remediation and process improvement that survives a change of owner.
Read the case study →Identifying £2.4M in Misallocated Funds
Role: Lead Analyst, 2024
Identified £2.4M in misallocated expenditure on an adjacent account through a review of annual inventory demands. Root cause analysis led to proposed enterprise-wide policy instruction to prevent recurrence. Enterprise-level systemic improvement.
Result: £2.4M in misallocated expenditure identified; enterprise-wide policy instruction proposed to prevent recurrence.
Scale: Annual inventory demand review; 18-month lookback; multiple cost centres.
Civilian relevance: root-cause analysis, financial control investigation and evidence-based policy recommendations.
Read the case study →Building Cross-Unit Inventory Visibility
Role: Data & Requirements Owner, 2024 – September 2026
Took over a predecessor's incomplete build and reconfigured the spreadsheet feeding it, creating a single source of truth for inter-site stock transfer tracking that identified an £8,000, 50-hour inter-site stock transfer within days, was rolled out to an adjacent unit, and has since been adopted by inventory managers elsewhere in the fleet.
Result: Single source of truth for inter-site stock transfer tracking; £8,000 and 50 hours identified within days; rolled out to an adjacent unit and adopted by inventory managers elsewhere in the fleet.
Civilian relevance: requirements ownership, data redesign, and completing a stalled build rather than starting one from scratch.
Read the case study →Modernising Assurance Across Inspections
Role: GRC Framework Lead, Mar 2025 – Jul 2026
Re-engineered deck-plate assurance across three Fleet Logistics Inspections through integrated ISO governance, Lean Six Sigma, and the Three Lines Model, including the voucher assurance controls behind the £2.4M finding on an adjacent account. Full compliance achieved, departmental policy adopted.
Result: Full compliance achieved; departmental policy adopted; voucher assurance controls established.
Civilian relevance: building governance frameworks that survive personnel turnover.
Read the case study →Building a Compliant Movement Capability
Role: Project Lead & Compliance Designer, Apr 2017 – Dec 2017
Delivered greenfield movement capability from governance to operational validation using PRINCE2 methodology. Designed customs compliance SOPs integrating HMRC rules with the MOD's own movements and transport regulations (JSP 800 and JSP 916). Zero financial liability exposure across multinational deployments.
Result: Zero financial liability exposure across multinational deployments.
Civilian relevance: building a compliance capability from scratch, integrating multiple regulatory frameworks into one operating procedure.
Read the case study →Closing Asset-Accountability Gaps
Role: Supply Chain & Global Movements (Petty Officer), Apr 2022 – May 2024
Consolidated dispersed ground support equipment into a single accountable stock holding site following a Tier 3 audit recommendation, and closed fourteen major loss investigations along the way.
Result: Equipment consolidated into one accountable site; fourteen major loss investigations closed.
Civilian relevance: asset accountability, loss investigation and audit liaison, turning a backlog of individual failures into a single control fix.
Read the case study →Protecting a £5M Trial from Failure
Role: Supply Chain & Global Movements (Petty Officer), Apr 2022 – May 2024
Turned round a rejected consignment in three days to keep a £5M weapons trial on schedule, then coordinated a seven-container cross-border movement and recovered critical equipment mid-exercise with three hours to spare.
Result: £5M trial kept on schedule; critical equipment recovered mid-exercise with three hours to spare.
Scale: Nine-person team; £5M weapons trial; seven containers moved cross-border.
Civilian relevance: deadline-critical coordination and multi-agency liaison under a fixed external schedule that moves for no one.
Read the case study →Zero Losses, Piloting a New Support Model
Role: Supply Chain Petty Officer, maintenance-period support group, Jun–Jul 2021
Ran the logistics side of a Fleet Time Support Period model nobody had tested before, on a front-line warship: zero losses on £145,674 of stores, and the highest rate of demands placed before T-12 (twelve weeks before the support period starts) of any FTSP on that class of ship that year.
Result: Zero losses on £145,674 of stores; highest rate of demands placed before T-12 (twelve weeks before the support period starts) of any FTSP on that class of ship that year.
Scale: £145,674 of stores; 97 demands covering 517 line items; five-week trial.
Civilian relevance: operating a new process model with no precedent, and building the accountability controls it doesn't come with by default.
Read the case study →Recovering a Non-Compliant Account at NATO SHAPE
Role: UAA & Accounting Lead, 2015 – 2016
Brought a tri-service logistics account, including ammunition, from non-compliance to full compliance in around nine months, building three artefacts still in use.
Result: Non-compliance to full compliance in around nine months; three artefacts still in use.
Scale: Support to personnel across 31 locations in Europe and Turkey.
Civilian relevance: closing an assurance gap under an unfamiliar framework, with fixes structured to outlast the person who built them.
