Notes

Colin Frayne, LRIC, MCIWEM, MICorr. (U.K.) is an international water treatment consultant and small business owner. He has more than 30 years of experience in the practice of industrial chemistry and industrial water systems management, and has worked and lectured in over 40 countries. During those years he has also lived on four continents, with his family, while being variously employed in Q.C. and R&D laboratories, in technical sales, sales management, marketing, training, international business development, import/ export, and general management. He graduated in analytical chemistry from North London Polytechnic (now the University of North London), in the United Kingdom, and later obtained various business diplomas from colleges in the U.K. and South Africa, including Wits Business School in Johannesburg.
