We are a specialist EHS consultancy whose team has held senior QHSE roles in some of the most demanding industrial environments in the world. The advice you receive comes from people who have done the job — not just advised on it.
Richard leads our consultancy practice, bringing a career that spans some of the most demanding environments in oil & gas and chemical manufacturing. He worked in QHSE roles at SLB (Schlumberger) and Swire Oilfield Services before six years as QHSE Manager at Sinomine Specialty Fluids in Aberdeen — responsible for environmental management systems, HSE management, and quality across global operations.
Alongside that, Richard served as Director of ORREANO, a Norwegian entity acting as EU Only Representative for chemical registrations under REACH — managing complex cross-border regulatory compliance for nearly four years from Bergen.
Having built custom digital EHS management systems throughout his career, Richard founded EHS Protect to bring that operational depth to other organisations — and is developing EHS Genesis, the compliance platform he wished had existed in every role he's held.
