The Director, Chris Simm, has an Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Reading.
Prior to this, a formal apprenticeship at (the then) Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering works at Barrow in Furness gave him the practical skills that he now applies the to pragmatic application of nuclear safety, the emphasis being on the ability of the workforce to being able to follow formal controls with out undue diversion from their normal tasks.
He is also an advocate of simple engineering systems that require minimal maintenance where possible, which reduces the risk of maintenance induced errors.
Following his apprenticeship and prior to entering the nuclear industry, he spent time in the Building Services (HVAC) industry, turn key pharmaceutical clean room industry and water turbine and fluid handling industry.
Industrial Consultancy Ltd was formed in 2004.
