Serving both home and on active service overseas with the British Army, as an artisan, was subsequently invalided out. Immediately following discharge gained employment with Ford Motor Company where ultimately a career in loss control and safety followed attaining a senior engineering appointment due to additional qualifications and experience, all within a few years.
The Ford experience led to far more challenging posts in the financial sector employed by international insurers that entailed surveying, appraising and investigating claims related accidents, across the five continents, visiting in all seventy-six countries. Reaching executive status with two major insurers was the sole author of seven risk management manuals and in excess, one hundred guidance standards. By virtue of being considered as an authority in loss control and risk management, he was an invited guest speaker at a number of international risk management conferences during his days in insurance. Mundane Insurance is a chronicle of some of the most invigorating and illuminating cases and experiences from a largely unknown profession.view less
