He worked for the Rover Group for twenty-four years and, following the introduction of Modern Apprenticeships in 1994, led the development of the first national engineering sector apprenticeship framework. As Manager, Education & Careers, he was responsible for designing Rover's Integrated Engineering Development Scheme, one of the original sector prototypes, and pioneered the use of comprehensive annual surveys of all trainees to provide a benchmark for year-on-year improvements in quality and learner satisfaction. Moving to the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Warwick in 1998 as Senior Research Fellow, he designed, developed and piloted SEMTA's* national online feedback system for engineering apprentices. He has long campaigned to raise the profile and status of work-based training for young people and, in 2003, was appointed as a member of the Government's Working Group on 14-19 Reform and chaired its Apprenticeships SubGroup. He was awarded an OBE in 1994 for services to the development of young people.

Research paper thumbnail of From Whence We Came - a Holocaust family history of separation, suffering and survival

From Whence We Came, 2019

By way of contrast, From Whence We Came documents the dramatic experiences of the members of one individual Jewish family from Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia, now in south-western Ukraine. These include hazardous voyages to Palestine, imprisonment by the British authorities in Mauritius, service in the Free Czechoslovak Army in France and Great Britain, survival in sub-zero conditions on the Eastern Front, the one hundred day siege of Budapest, slave labour on an island in the River Danube, deportation to Auschwitz and one of the infamous ‘death marches’ from Poland to Nazi Germany. Interwoven with these experiences is the author’s journey of discovery of a family he didn’t even know existed.
