Carey began his career as a management trainee with Royal / Dutch Shell, but then joined the RAF flying Wessex helicopters and completed tours in Northern Ireland and Hong Kong where he was a deputy flight commander and also the liaison officer for the HK Police Special Duties Unit. He served for a period with the Royal HK Auxiliary Air Force flying the Dauphin on medevac and search and rescue duties, and some time flying corporately. He currently holds an ATPL (H) and is rated on the MD500 and R22.
After leaving active flying Carey held a number of senior management positions in Hong Kong, but returned to the UK in 1991 to enter consultancy and training, which because of his background inevitably led him back to aviation.
Carey specialises in developing CRM and human factors training programmes and in particular working with training captains to further develop their training skills. He is a CRM Instructor Examiner and was Chairman of the Royal Aeronautical Society's Human Factors Group. He is also a member of the CRM Advisory Panel to the CAA and was Chairman of the Operations and Licensing Focus Group for the HF Advisory Group to EASA. He is qualified to operate Airbus 320/330/350 full flight simulators.
LMQ Training was started in 1985 by Lydia Malone and delivered basic management courses in communications and team working for hospitals and the railways. One of the major projects was a 3 year residential training course for British Rail engineering supervisors following a major accident at Clapham Junction in 1988.
In 1991 the company expanded into quality management programmes such as Investors In People and changed its name to LMQ (Leadership Management and Quality) to reflect this work, but still retain its original roots. Soon after in 1993 LMQ became involved in the aviation industry through running CRM and human factors programmes, and later in instructor development.
Since then, LMQ have developed into small but experienced team of 8 consultants, specialising in training people at all levels in core skills, particularly in safety critical industries such as aviation, healthcare, rail and oil and gas.
LMQ have a worldwide reputation as one of the leading companies in this area.
