JPEL/64 - Electrical Installations, Chair

John’s career in electrical installations began in 1965 when, at the age of 15, he became an apprentice electrician with national electrical contractors Lee Beesley, in Birmingham. He stayed with that company for seven years, gaining his JIB Electrician’s Certificate and rising to become a contracts engineer, working on a range of project types, including industrial, commercial, healthcare and educational. He moved on into the world of consultancy, in which he worked for 21 years, designing and managing large, medium and small electrical installation projects, both in the UK and overseas, and progressing to become an Associate with R W Gregory and Partners. In 1994, John moved to NICEIC as the Inspecting Engineer for the area centred on Dudley in the Midlands. He progressed to become a Senior Engineer with NICEIC, working in the Standards Unit – with duties that included technical authorship and contributing to the development of the IET Wiring Regulations and the related European and International standards, and then to become the Principal Engineer of NICEIC (and subsequently of the Electrical Safety Council), a post which he held for 10 years. John retired from Certsure Plc (owner of the NICEIC and ELECSA brands) in April 2014, and is now both a self-employed consulting engineer and UK Standards Manager for Schneider Electric.John was awarded his BSc Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1980 after studying for it on a part-time basis at Birmingham Polytechnic. His earlier technical qualifications, also gained on a part-time basis, include the City & Guilds B and C Certificates in Electrical Installation Work, City and Guilds Electrical Installation Technician’s Certificate, City & Guilds Electrical Technicians Certificate, and the Higher National Certificate in Electrical Engineering.John’s career has included extensive experience in the design, construction, inspection and testing of electrical installations, in addition to the authorship of guidance publications on the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). He serves on joint IET/BSI Committee JPEL/64, which is responsible for the technical content of the Wiring Regulations. He also serves and on a number of BSI committees relating to electrical installations, and on a number of CENELEC and lEC technical committees responsible for the content of the European and international standards that form the basis of much of the content of the Wiring Regulations.
