"These seminars cover a great deal of ground very quickly without needing to wade through many pages of documentation and remove almost all the uncertainty that can arise from working in isolation in one company only. The delivery style makes it all pretty painless"

In 2002 he set up his own consulting services business, specialising in RoHS and WEEE in 2003. Roland is a member of both the  Australian AEEMA RoHS and WEEE committee and the New Zealand RoHS and WEEE Support Committee. The infrastructure that his company has set up in Australasia for RoHS and WEEE support has been the subject of papers he has presented at the Asia Electronics Forum in Qingdao and at the World Electronics Forum in London. His experience at the "coal face" as a project manager for RoHS and WEEE compliance with one of New Zealands largest OEMs and Contract Manufacturers gives him a solid practical grounding for assisting and training other companies. Roland holds the contract with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise to supply content and manage the New Zealand RoHS and WEEE support website ( www.electronicssouth.com) which rates in the top 10 on a google search string "RoHS and WEEE".
