Text Box: Essempy Project Management Consultants is an independent consultancy offering project management, safety management and general induction training, mainly in the rail industry. It is led by Norman Price FAPM FPWI. Norman initially trained as a railway civil engineer then moved into project management in 1983 and undertook the full responsibilities of a British Rail project manager for research projects, track to train communications, personnel warning devices and electrification projects from 1984 until 1993. During 1985 he devised and was responsible for the BR Project Management Handbook and Procedures until privatisation in 1994. To support this he designed and delivered associated project management training which was delivered to over 3,000 personnel both in the rail industry and, since 1995 other clients as diverse as construction, publishing, facilities management, cosmetics, communications and banking. In 1992 he initiated the development of and managed an innovative “Safety Management for Projects” training programme, for BR, and subsequently Railtrack. The advent of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations enabled us to offer this programme generically. In 1994 he co-wrote and has regularly updated the well-known 100 Basic Principles induction programme as well as, more recently, introduced a more technical Modular Railway Induction programme Following the privatisation of British Rail, Norman formed and was Director of SMP Training, and achieved personal Fellow status as well as course accreditation for the core project management and safety management programmes from the Association for Project Management. More recently he has achieved an APM project risk management training qualification. In 1998 SMP Training merged with the College of Railway Technology to form Catalis Rail Training, where he was Director of Technical Management training until forming Essempy with his wife, Diana, a former permanent way engineer with British Rail. Norman’s formal project management training was with the Cranfield Institute. He has maintained close links with other leading academic institutions and ran a Masters Degree programme in partnership with the University of Lancaster. As well as the UK, He has delivered training programmes in Egypt, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Norman has had professional papers published by the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Major Projects Association, Association for Project Management, Management Engineering Society (Cairo) and Institution of Railway Signalling Engineers as well as numerous transport and project management journals.
