CE has been involved in cost analysis, estimating, forecasting and modelling for over 15 years. Most of this work has been carried out in the Defence sector, across the Land, Air, Maritime and Defence Digital domains. His pervious experience as a service engineer and reservist ensured CE has a great understanding of the environment he works in. The companies CE worked for during this time were SMEs, which benefited from his broad experience, flexibility and drive.
CE has managed accounts, trained staff and customers for the companies he has worked for. He has delivered in all aspects of the delivery cycle, including requirements gathering, design, build, testing, verification and data validation of cost models and other types of models.
CE enjoys swimming (indoor and open water) to keep fit and challenge himself, and also walking and mountain biking, depending on how old injuries are treating him. Any spare time is spent studying with the Open University or carrying out DIY at home.
