CV & Biography Jeff Charlton
Managing Director and principle consultant Mob 07990 500 999 

Jeff's career began in mechanical engineering and the UK's National Health Service, focussing on medical physics’ and nuclear medicine with specific responsibilities in radio isotopes such as iodine, caesium, technetium, and radium.

During his three years in military service with 51st Highland Volunteers he took specialist education training provider in CBR battlefield defence.

During the mid eighties, Jeff started and grew a building and environmental decontamination company, gaining broad experience in chemical acid, base and surfactant use, partnering with Sweden’s biggest disaster recovery company, Ocaba . 

In Kuwait following the Gulf war of 1990, he employed a restoration workforce of 400 personnel. The company provided demonstrations and feasibility studies on recovery and restoration protocols to companies such as Bechtel. Brown & Root,  Ministries of Aukaf and Electricity & Water, as well as training and work scoping for the US Corps of Engineers.  The company specialised in decontamination of oil terminals, (gathering stations), Doha electricity power station and worked closely with EOD explosive ordinance disposal to expose and identify hidden or oil covered explosive devices.  A number of hotels such as the Kuwait Crown Plaza (Holiday Inn) Marriott and embassies were restored to minimise loss and maximise profits. Works in Kuwait lasted over two years.

After two years in Kuwait, Jeff started a new company specialising in disaster recovery and worked for various loss adjusting and insurance companies with specific focus on the London area or major national and International disruptive events. The development and growth of Business Continuity Planning was beginning to be recognised.  From visiting on average 3 commercial disasters a week, he developed a very broad knowledge of the subject and became one of the first members of the BCI Business Continuity Institute.

During the nineties, Jeff worked and studied extensively in the USA and Europe focusing on toxic mould, HAZMAT situations and certified in various fields including licensed asbestos removal. While in the USA, he worked with the Toxic Mold Task Force in the development of the decontamination protocols as seen in the IICRC S520 manual.
General failures in the then current principles of building drying and resulted in the development of various novel protocols for speed drying that are still utilised today. Jeff also served on the HVAC task force and made input to the TR17 cleaning standards of ventilation systems reflecting indoor air quality.

The events of 9/11 identified serious deficiencies in the limitations of planning for response instead of defence and focus was placed on developing proactive defence procedures. These procedures focused on the defence of buildings and protection of occupants.  This resulted in various commissions for contingency plans and an invitation as a visiting lecturer at Cranfield Royal Military College.

From 2001, the company centred more on consultancy, audits, inspections and training. The focus has been on property defence and occupant safety with recovery and robust business continuity a cornerstone.
