Via his company, he offers consultancy services to colleges, universities, and other organisations in the public and private sectors in the UK and overseas.

He has degrees from three universities, including a PhD from Lancaster University. He is a corporate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (MCIPD) and holds a Diploma in Accounting and Finance (CDipAF), awarded by ACCA.
