About
Gregg Kervill studied Applied Physics and Electronics, he then completed a three-year Diploma in Industrial Management, this was a forerunner of the MBA.
In his early career, Gregg designed electronic products for industrial control, consumer, space and military applications. During his later career he focused on technical and design compliance management: was accepted as a Design Verification Engineer by Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This allowed him to test and approve products to CSA Safety Standards and authorize application of the CSA safety logo independent of CSA.
In 1993 he created and developed GK Consultants Ltd., which has held a web presence since 1993 (as www.GKCL.com). Through GKCL, Gregg has advised the governments of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong and in engineering development and training. When Slovenia joined the EU Gregg reviewed their laboratory capability with EU requirements. His report was one of the milestones necessary for Slovenia’s acceptance into the EU.
Gregg has been a registered consultant with the European Union; he performed contract projects with NIST and the Consumer Electronics Association. He was one of 19 consultants appointed to Virginia Governor (Mark) Warner’s VALET program. He was a member of the planning and strategy committee of the City of Austin, Texas.
In 1995, Gregg created the first CDROM computer-based training program on Electrical Safety. In 2001, he designed the examination for the International Association for Radio, and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE) Product Safety Certification program. He wrote and published an examination guide, which has been translated into Japanese.
During his fiftieth year, Gregg discovered that he suffered with dyslexia.
“Dyslexia is a strange bedfellow – on one hand it can destroy your life: then on the other, it provides creativity: the ability to process thoughts as images, and to process problems 20 times faster than ‘normal’ people; it provides huge benefits that cannot be taught.”
Gregg has lectured on three continents, has presented papers at many international conferences, published about 20 books and numerous articles on regulatory compliance and product safety engineering.

Last Exit to BREXIT: BREXIT; CE Marking; the NEW United Kingdom "UKCA Mark"; How to Use and Navigate the EU "EUROPA" website
The EUROPA web site contains vital information to manufacturers shipping into the ‘European Union. But there is a problem; it contains many thousands of pages and supports 24 Languages. This makes it one of the most daunting and unfriendly sites to search and to navigate.
This book will help you avoid the problems, created by BREXIT, and which will last many years after BREXIT completes its destructive path, causing chaos, political rancor, and the demise of more than one company. (Thomas Cook, founded in 1841, may be the landmark casualty; alas, it will not be the last.)
The Print version allows you to thumb through the pages in comfort, and to find what you need; then the eBook allows you to find and download the data you need from the EUROPA website. The two formats provide information vital to your company and teach you how to navigate the thousands of pages contained in the EUROPA website. Using this book (in both the Print and eBook formats) you will spare you many months of frustration as you learn how to navigate, and find vital data and information; on the EUROPA website.
