In March 2024 I retired from SSEN after almost 36 years. For the past 9 years of my career I held the post of Street works Manager and prior to this I was the Street works admin manager for 11 years. I remain secretary of SWHAUC and HAUC (UK) and part of the Street works convention committee. I was Co-chair of the HAUC (UK) performance group, a member of the SWUK Operations EPG group and a member of the ENA but have now resigned these positions so I can concentrate on my part time role of HAUC (UK) Communications Manager. I am proud to continue to serve the wider Street works community where my role primarily involves updating the HAUC(UK) website, HAUC (UK) Linked-In site as well as many other admin related tasks. I am also part of the HAUC App focus group looking at new development.

Clive has a background rooted in utilities, defence, security, and education leadership in the private, public and not for profit sectors. From 2012 to 2017, Clive was Global Head of Resilience at National Grid, a role covering all UK and US assets, and a then-workforce of over 27,000 people. In this role, Clive represented National Grid at the UK’s Energy Emergencies Executive Committee (E3C) and the Scottish Government’s ‘Ready Scotland’, while directing interaction with the myriad of regional authority fora and groupings in the UK and north-east USA.

Running up to this, Clive was Director of Integration and Readiness for the London 2012 Olympics, within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. He directed the strategic level training, risk assessment, integration, reporting and readiness of LOCOG, Transport, Security, the Mayor’s office and several other government departments and supporting bodies. Preceding this, Clive was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force, serving as Head of International Policy and Planning, and was the Ministry of Defence’s worldwide Director of Strategic Contingency Planning in the period of the Arab uprising. He commanded at every level culminating in regional base Leuchars, in Fife, where he also acted as the Air Officer for Scotland interacting regularly with Scottish Government at official and political level.

I have been privileged to work in local government for over 17 years, beginning with four years in Highway Engineering before spending the last 13 years in the Street Works industry—both as a Highway Authority representative and as a Statutory Undertaker. My career has also spanned the technology sector, where I worked with a SaaS provider supporting the entire industry, as well as the utility sector, delivering rural broadband. These experiences have given me valuable insight into the challenges faced across the wider street works industry, particularly in delivering complex activities and fast-paced projects.

In my current role as Head of Network Assurance at Suffolk County Council (SCC), I lead the Network Assurance Service, ensuring SCC fulfils its Network Management Duty. I oversee multi-disciplinary teams dedicated to delivering this function for the residents and travelling public of Suffolk.
My industry involvement extends beyond my role at SCC. In September 2020, I was elected Anglian JAG Chair (AJAG) and Co-Chair of the Anglian HAUC (AHAUC), a position I held from January 2021 until December 2024. In early 2022, I was honoured to be elected Vice Chair of JAG(UK), taking up the post in April of that year.
In April 2025, I step into my tenure as Chair of JAG(UK), succeeding the incredible Sarah Widdows. Additionally, as part of the newly restructured leadership model, I also take on the role of Co-Chair of HAUC(UK), succeeding David Capon. This new dual-leadership approach marks a significant evolution for the industry, and I am confident that, with the support of both the JAG(UK) and HAUC(UK) communities, we will continue driving progress and delivering effective solutions for the sector.
I am excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to working collaboratively to champion best practices, innovation, and continuous improvement in the street works industry.

Head of Network Assurance at Suffolk County Council.
