explains what I can offer as a company historian..

Background

   I am the author of a number of histories (click on CV and Bibliography for details), including three drafts of The Story of Castrol. This prestigious company history was specially commissioned by Castrol International (part of the Burmah Castrol group) to mark their centenary in 1999.

In the course of preparing for this 40,000 word book (published in 1998 for private circulation only) I trawled through the company archives, and also interviewed dozens of Castrol's employees both past and present, ranging from the most senior men in the company to one of the chauffeurs.

The result was a lively and informative company history.
