Connaught Connection: When did you join Connaught?
Jim Anderson: I've been working for Connaught full-time for almost five years, but I was involved with associate work with the company before then.
Up to that time, I had spent almost the whole of my adult working life in the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
Connaught Connection: Tell us (as much as you are allowed to!) about your experiences in the MOD
Jim Anderson: I had some fantastic experiences working for the MOD and yes, I can't tell you about many of them, but I can tell you that I took part (as part of the Health and Safety team) in to providing guidance and advice relating to actions carried out by peace protesters, ship board accidents and environmental incidents.

Jim Anderson: When I was working at Aldermaston I became a TUC Steward and was sent on a Trade Union accredited Health and Safety course.

Connaught Connection: What do you enjoy about consultancy and training with Connaught?
Jim Anderson: It is so satisfying when training delegates to realise, that potentially, you can help prevent accidents or injuries and ill health at work.
