Paul Read

Paul joined the James Fisher Nuclear board in September 2006.

Paul started his career in 1977 with UK Atomic Energy Authority during which time he was awarded his MSc and PhD for R&D in fundamental nuclear science. Throughout the 1980s he applied his technical skills to solving operational challenges in the nuclear field before broadening his skills to the commercial sector. This led to management positions within Fisons plc in 1989 and subsequently in 1994 with British Nuclear Fuels plc. Paul became MD of BNFL Instruments in 2000, where he led the company in applying niche technical skills to the market resulting in rapid and dramatic growth in sales and profitability.
