A Christchurch certification business for sites across New Zealand

Matt trained as an aerospace engineer at the University of Manchester and began his career at BAE Systems, coordinating production and flight test on the Tornado line before project engineering roles on Typhoon and the Joint Strike Fighter. He went on to run military satellite communications programmes at Airbus Defence and Space, and then led safety-critical signalling upgrades across four London Underground lines and 34 stations for Invensys Rail.

In New Zealand he led Housing New Zealand's repair and rebuild programme for about 6,000 earthquake-damaged homes in Christchurch, and was executive officer at Wakatipu High School, responsible for property, finance, health and safety and compliance. As General Manager Engineering at Antarctica New Zealand, he ran Scott Base's infrastructure and led the Scott Base Redevelopment through its business case.

Kelvin founded the business and is a WorkSafe-authorised compliance certifier (authorisation TST100252). He certifies locations holding flammable gases such as LPG and flammable liquids such as petrol and diesel, and stationary tanks and container systems for flammable liquids up to 120,000 litres each.

Before moving into health and safety, Kelvin served ten years with the New Zealand Police. He has since worked across construction, mining, manufacturing and government agencies, developing health and safety management systems, carrying out site audits and investigating workplace incidents, and has worked as a national assessor for SiteWise. He has completed specialist training in asbestos removal, confined spaces and working at heights.

Kelvin inspects sites and signs off certificates.
