Prior to legal practice Ron qualified as a Master Mariner, serving on a wide variety of vessel types including general cargo, bulk carriers, reefer, containerships, product tankers, VLCC, ro-ro and passenger ships.When he came ashore in 1991, he became a marine surveyor for the UK Government where his duties included the survey of ships for the issue of safety and environmental certification in accordance with UK legislation and international conventions, port state control inspections, accident investigation and the examination of masters and mates for the issue of their certificates of competency.

Ron's background ideally equips him to investigate casualties where his previous experience of dealing at Governmental level has frequently proved invaluable on-site, particularly in difficult jurisdictions.Ship owners and charterers and their P &I Clubs also rely on Ron's practical advice in unsafe port disputes and P&I claims.He also advises flag state authorities on regulatory issues.

Ron specialised in maritime law, economics and shipping business when studying for his degree at Liverpool John Moores University and he is a member of the Nautical Institute.
