I’ve worked in the alcohol field for over 20 years, and since 2009 I’ve been offering independent consultancy. I was part of the original team behind the Dry January campaign and have contributed to every campaign since it began.

​

In 2018, I wrote Try Dry: The Official Guide to a Month Off Booze, and in 2025 my next book, Alcohol@Work: Tackling Workplace Drinking to Improve Wellbeing, will be published by Taylor & Francis.

​

My work has always focused on reducing alcohol-related harm—to individuals, families, workplaces and communities. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who are often overlooked, including those living with alcohol-related brain damage and their families.

​

I’ve worked with hundreds of organisations across the UK—public, private, and third sector—to develop effective, compassionate alcohol policies and practices. Previous clients include BT, Oracle, Eversheds Sutherland, Allianz, and many more.

​

My approach is evidence-based, practical, and engaging. Training sessions are interactive and tailored to the real-world challenges your staff face. I believe a well-trained and supported workforce is key to improving wellbeing and recovery outcomes.
