Zoological Leadership
I offer strategic curatorial leadership for aquariums of all sizes — from interim management and team recruitment, to compliance and collection planning. With experience leading husbandry operations at aquariums across the UK and Europe, I bring structure and clarity to complex operations.
If you're seeking hands-on leadership, I provide tailored curatorial management services designed for business owners who need experienced external support. I'll go beyond just animal welfare and zoo license compliance, extending to recruitment, master planning, day-to-day operations, and financial optimisation. I seamlessly integrate into your team to elevate every aspect of your aquarium.
I also specialise in operational efficiency and I'll help you to reduce waste, streamline processes, and generate significant annualised savings by implementing my tried-and-tested strategies across your husbandry operation to get your aquarium running at peak performance.
Project Delivery
If you're planning a new exhibit, a full site refurbishment, or a completely new-build aquarium, I offer expert guidance across every stage of project delivery. I've worked on everything from feasibility studies, planning applications, and investment decks, to concept development, livestock planning, and scheme design.
Whether we worked together on the planning stages of your project or if you're bringing me in part-way through, I can support you throughout the project delivery. I’ve helped clients with animal transports, recruitment of key staff, water conditioning, and preparing exhibits for opening. I’ll be with you every step of the way, making sure your attraction gets through opening without a hitch.
Aquarium Innovation
From close-up encounters to feeds & tours, VIP experiences are a core part of the aquarium offer. I’ll work closely with you and your team to develop unique experiences that use your existing resources to drive higher visitation, better guest satisfaction, and increased revenue.
I've helped countless clients bring brand new ideas to life — whether it's a visitor experience or a behind-the-scenes innovation. If you want to create something interactive, immersive, or completely original, I’ll shape your concept into reality and get it across the line. I provide flexible consulting to make stuff happen.
Zoo Compliance
I support zoos and aquariums with inspections, BIAZA accreditations, and other desk-based compliance. I’ve led inspection preparation across multiple licensed sites, developed policy documents aligned with the Secretary of State’s Standards, and authored multiple formal responses to zoo licence reports.
Whether you’ve got an upcoming inspection or want to build a stronger internal system, I can help you get inspection-ready, improve your documentation, or build robust compliance processes from scratch. I’ll work alongside your team to ensure everything is in place and up to standard.
Acquisition Support
Thinking of buying, selling, or refurbishing an aquarium? I work with owners, buyers, investors, and brokers to provide a clear, honest picture of what you’re walking into — from the state of the life support systems and enclosures, to compliance risks and hidden technical headaches. I’ll help you spot the opportunities, flag the red flags, and make informed decisions that save you money and hassle down the line.
