Hi, I'm Paul Bayley, I have been a qualified Plant Operator for 29 years, I've worked self employed with many companies on many different projects over the years. 

12 years ago I trained as a Puwer & Loler examiner and for 10 year I worked for a local company as one of their Test Engineers. 

I have now set up on my own as PDB Examinations.
