John joined BHJ in 2011 as ‘Gamekeeper turned Poacher’ having prosecuted for VOSA for over 20 years in his time as a partner in a Manchester firm.
He was no stranger to road transport and criminal defence work, and now wholly acts for Operators and drivers in defending road transport prosecutions brought by DVSA and the Police, across the UK from Cornwall to Cumbria.
He represents clients in interviews and Court appearances in such investigations, as well as undertaking Driver Conduct Hearings, Public Inquiries, and Coroners Inquests.
John also advises in Health and Safety investigations, writes articles and updates for the industry press, and speaks at Trade Association events.
He is described in Chambers and Partners as “He is quite cerebral and he really digs into his cases.”
Beyond the office, he is a keen singer, enjoys walking and intends to get on with restoring his Saab 96. John is married to Debbie, and father to Edward and Andrew.
