About PhaseFIVE

Previously, over 25 years’ experience working in the field of R&D data, information and knowledge management, initially in the photographic manufacturing industry, followed by 9 years running my own consultancy business. Volunteered with the London Olympics (worked at Wembley Stadium with the venue technology manager for the football tournaments), Lords Cricket ground (as a photographer) and Silverstone for 3 years for the British Grand Prix. 12 Years as a Volunteer Manager with Saracens Rugby Club, managing up to 200 volunteers. Photography has been life-long, and on-going passion; music (guitar playing) remains active, participation in energetic sports, including marathon running, have fallen by the wayside, but watching rugby, messing about with guitars, walking (and gardening?) are on the agenda. I volunteer with the disability track club sessions for kids run by Saracens, as well as serving as a volunteer photographer for a number of charities/non-profits. My wife, three grown children, and one grandson all contribute tasks to my to-do list in between everything else. I’m a member of the Royal Photographic Society, the RSPB, a Patron of the Saracens Foundation, and a Director of the Saracens Supporters Association.
