This book is my account of what happened next. Growing up in unstable circumstances. Losing my dad in one of the worst industrial disasters in British history. And the difficult years that followed. It took time, mistakes, and experience to find a way forward.

Eventually, I turned that experience into something useful.

What you’ll find inside

• Life before and after Piper Alpha

• The influence of my dad and what he stood for

• What unresolved grief actually looks like

• How I rebuilt direction through work and responsibility

A SAFER FUTURE

I now use my story in talks and workshops, particularly within the offshore and safety sectors.

The focus is simple:

• Understanding risk

• Taking responsibility

• Making better decisions under pressure

When people hear the human cost behind safety failures, it changes how they think.

Take a look at the Speaking & Events page for more about how I can transform safety in your business.
