Frequently Asked Questions

How can CML-SOLUTIONS help my business?

I understand the pressures and complexities of innovation. I’ve been in the field, in the workshops, and in the boardrooms—bridging technical depth with operational relevance. My approach is grounded in lessons learned, robust processes, and a commitment to helping businesses deliver systems that work, scale, and endure. I support the specification, design, validation, build, training, and management of New Product Development (NPD) projects—bringing real-world user needs and cultural expectations into every phase.

What sets CML-SOLUTIONS apart from other consulting firms?

 

Operational Credibility, Not Just Theory

Seasoned consultant with over 25 years of hands-on experience in Business Operations, Engineering, and Defence. Proven expertise in designing and validating electro-mechanical systems and EOD ammunition, alongside driving operational efficiency reviews and implementing gated review processes.


Over the years, I’ve contributed to C-IED, UXO, and UGV initiatives—from initial R&D and system design through to deployment, training, and operational integration, working alongside such companies as MBDA, L3Harris Technologies, QinetiQ North America, DOK-ING, Teledyne FLIR, Minewolf Systems, Telerob, an AeroVironment Company, NIC Instruments & Remotec (Peraton). 

My approach blends strategic insight with boots-on-the-ground pragmatism—ensuring systems and processes are not only robust, but truly mission-ready.

The goal? To help businesses secure multimillion-pound contracts by delivering deployable technologies and operational frameworks that meet the highest standards of performance, compliance, and credibility.

End users don’t need complexity—they need solutions that are intuitive, lightweight, and built to perform under pressure. This insight shapes everything I design, support, and deliver through CML-SOLUTIONS.

ABOUT ME

"My career has taken me across the globe, providing technical leadership on mission-critical programmes in Counter-IED (C-IED), Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD), UXO mitigation, and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) integration. I’ve led the design and development of a wide range of systems supporting EOD operations—disruptor components, initiation systems, and operator support equipment, including 12.7x99 Blank [UN0323], 12 gauge, 26.5mm, and 40mm cartridges."

"Every solution I’ve designed or contributed to, shares a single, unwavering goal: to minimise risk for EOD operators in the field"
