I have undertaken freelance consultancy opportunities for all of my career.
This started as hands-on web development (client sites including Microsoft, Central Office of Information, ADMA award winning Commonwealth Bank of Australia and many more).
Since around 2000, my freelancing has focused on helping organisations to develop their strategic web plans and then help them commission, build or deliver the appropriate websites, projects, systems and changes.

I have also worked extensively with organisations focusing on vocational training, employability, and regeneration, supporting not just their IT/Web needs, but acting as an interim manager for training programs, fundraising and a range of other areas.
