I am new to Wikipedia, and so:
- Am learning how it works.
- May make mistakes! If I do I kindly ask for help and guidance.

Given my background I suspect all or many of my contributions will be about ceramics, and so to briefly note I have:-
- Worked for over 40 years in this field, and this in various positions (technical, production, quality and managerial.)
- Relevant professional qualifications.
- Experience, in various countries
- - manufacturers, including some household names. Ranging from the small to sites with more than 1,500 people.
- - studio & craft potters.
- - suppliers of prepared bodies & glazes.
- - mining companies extracting the raw materials.
- - academia (just a few years.)
- - multitude of types of ceramic materials and applications.
- Had both articles and papers published.
Am very happy to have conversations with anybody, but I:-
- Would be very reluctant to disclose personal information.
- Request polite and respectful dialogue.
