 Bill began his career in education and
training in the early seventies when he did some part time lecturing
for the Cape College for Advance Technical Education, later to
become the Cape Technikon. In 1975 he joined the Cape Technikon in
the department of industrial engineering. In 1985 he moved to the
Peninsula Technikon to start the department of Industrial
engineering, and in 1987 was instrumental in setting up the Center
for Continuing Education at the Pentech. He became director of the
centre in 1988 and remained in that position until he left in 1990
to set up his own business Education in Industry.
During the

consulting to various companies such as Plessey SA, Atlantis
Foundries, Irwin and Johnson, and Yardley of London in the field of
industrial engineering and in particular in the areas of quality,
supply chain management and work study.
Since the formation
of SAQA he has been working with companies such as Afrox, Unilever
Ponds, Daimler Chrysler, Cape Span and recently Toyota in developing
unit standards and training material in the field of supply chain and in particular in the areas of
warehousing and distribution.
Bill joined the South African
Production and Inventory Control Society in 1978 and during his
association with SAPICS has served on the board, has been chapter
chairman of the Capetown Chapter twice, and is responsible for
writing much of the current training material used by CS
Sapics.
Together with the Western Cape Institute of
Foundrymen, he has developed a Diploma course in Foundry Technology,
and has helped many companies develop in-house training programs to
meet specific needs in the field of industrial
engineering.
Bill was born and educated in the United Kingdom
and arrived in South Africa in 1968 on a 12-month working holiday.
Since then he has settled and made SA his country or
residence.
