6. Elwood Engineering Services Ltd – Own Ltd Company
• Between Oct 1991 (on returning to Scotland from the Middle East)
and January 2006 when I took up the post in New Zealand I ran my
own Consultancy (EES Ltd). I generally contracted my services
out to one major client at a time (as listed below). These
appointments were generally of a fairly senior nature with
significant staff management responsibility. The length of time for
each of these posts was very much dependent on the clients’
staffing needs and policy.
• I also carried out work on an ongoing basis for a considerable
number of smaller clients, particularly for Structural and Civil
Designs. I received regular commissions for Tender Preparation
and Assessment and also for Claims Evaluation and
Reporting.
