I have over 42 years experience of managing the provision of multidisciplinary information services in the public and private sectors.During that time I worked for several major companies, UK Government Departments and been an information consultant to Eurostat, FAO and OECD as well as being Head of the Government Statistical Service in the Solomon Islands.

Having retired I have taken time to reflect upon my interests and values. I now realise that the ethics and principles of Permaculture are what have sustained me throughout my working life and link directly with my views on Holistic Management.

Following a Permaculture Design Course in Malta in September 2011 I am now focussing my experience and energies on building a solar passive, earth sheltered house and establishing a Permaculture demonstration site that includes a forest garden on a 16,0000 sq metre plot on a mountainside in Southern Crete
