He has advised on matters such as the Christchurch Masjidain Attack of 2019 and the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017. He currently provides support and advice around matters of counter terrorism to the Premier League and English Football League.

The team and Julian discuss:

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness (Guide) is a document that helps explain how to keep vehicles roadworthy. It is intended for use by operators, drivers, and others responsible for maintaining commercial and passenger vehicles. As we mentioned in our BACK on air webinar on 1 November 2024, we have been expecting the Guide to be updated and this has now been released.

To take the hassle out of you working out what has changed and also to encourage thought provoking debate around the important issue of maintenance, we talk through the changes in this podcast.
