WORK HISTORY
Managing Director @Xes
GB
XES is an independent assurance and risk consultancy focused on explosion safety, hazardous area compliance, and process risk. We operate across the UK and internationally, supporting high hazard sectors.We work closely with EPC contractors, asset owners and insurers. Our role spans design, construction, and operation, with a focus on how risk develops across the full lifecycle.We bring an insurance risk engineering perspective into technical delivery. This links site level controls to underwriting decisions, loss drivers, and portfolio risk.I act as Technical Authority for multiple organisations. I deliver structured, auditable outputs aligned with DSEAR, ATEX, and global best practice.Our work covers battery energy storage systems and emerging energy infrastructure. This includes gas generation, ventilation, ignition control, and explosion risk pathways.We focus on control effectiveness. We identify where controls degrade, where assumptions drift, and where credible loss pathways form.The outcome is stronger risk positions and higher confidence for operators, EPCs, and insurers.
