I have proven ability as a trainer of waste management personnel and I am a registered assessor and verifier for WAMITAB COTC, WAMITAB Non Statutory Awards. I spent seven years working for a commercial waste management company in the UK, being appointed manager of the environmental section. During this time I gained extensive waste management experience in co-disposal landfills and transfer stations. In particular, I was responsible for the management and development of leachate treatment plants. I then moved into consultancy Leppitt Associates: advising on a wide range of waste management issues such as underpinning knowledge training for WAMITAB COTCs, environmental permitting and planning applications, health and safety, environmental risk assessment and EMS audits. I have managed a variety of waste sites to provide cover during staff training programmes. In early 2001 I successfully established a City & Guilds NVQ Centre selling the WAMITAB and BICS awards. Since then more than 450 people have completed a variety of awards involving assessment by myself of Levels 1 to 4, including training in Health & Safety and Environmental Legislation.

    N f\A - S oo-Ha (jO$*\z'3'Z2 Environmental Protection Final Draft Report RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND May 1993 Water Quality Technical Note FWS/93/005 Author: R J Broome Freshwater Scientist NRA CV.M. Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

CONNON PhD 2007 Factors impacting on technology acceptance for the micro/SME electronics retailer Abstract Factors impacting on technology acceptance for the micro/SME electronics retailer The UK micro/SME (known here as SME) retail sector is very important to the economic well being of the country. Its ability to generate jobs as well as income makes it a key part of the drive towards economic growth, and as such it is supported by government through a variety of initiatives. One initiative in 2003 aimed to energise and invigorate practitioners into using internet based technologies more fully in their business practices. This supported the widely held belief that the internet can and does enhance and improve business efficiency.
