Geoff has been involved in the engineering support and maintenance of medical equipment since 1974. Following army service in Hong Kong, UK, Germany and Saudi Arabia, he has worked in Saudi Arabia (a further four times), Nigeria, Jordan, Oman (twice), as an agency technician in the UK National Health Service, and for private UK medical engineering companies.

During his long years overseas, Geoff worked for equipment maintenance contractors, and on new hospital projects with consulting engineers and architects.

Experienced at all levels from bench technician to project engineer, he now prefers to work at the practical "hands-on" level, and in the development of computer database applications related to biomedical engineering.
