As the Engineering Director at BDUK I needed someone to help develop a SMS for our growing company and in 2016 I employed Silas to do just that. His knowledge, professionalism and determination proved the ideal mix for developing a world class SMS and driving the good practice in to the business. So, in 2019, when I found myself at THALES UK and in need of support to enhance and consolidate our approach to Safety across our UK businesses I reached out to Si again. Once again his enthusiasm for ‘getting safety right’ and his vast knowledge of relevant standards and industry best practice, made his a great partner in developing and deploying our updated SMS. I highly recommend Si as an expert in Safety management systems and for his ability to win over key stakeholders in complex environments.
At extremely short notice I needed someone to author a Safety, Sustainability and Environmental Protection bid response and Silas stepped up to the plate and produced the goods. I found him a delight to work with and he certainly knows his stuff. I would not hesitate to reach out to him again where I need experience and a pragmatic approach to addressing the essential safety and environmental issues in current MOD procurements.
I was fortunate enough to attend a course delivered by Silas. His real time experience gave him a credibility, he had a thorough knowledge of his subject, and he had an engaging manner which ensured that the key themes were grasped at the appropriate level.
