His earlier years were spent in Great Britain, through school, technical training and formal education as Hons. Graduate in Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the University of Wales in 1972.

Much of his working life was with the Alcatel Group of Companies culminating in sales and marketing of telecoms infrastructure over many years in numerous international markets. In his varied working life he has twice held the position of General Manager of a telecoms company, once in Lagos, Nigeria and again in Cambodia during 2003. Henry obtained a Diploma as Business Coach and Counsellor in Germany and also held a managerial position for 2 years in Cambodia's largest Telecoms Company, Mobitel.

A re-focussing to the field of education occurred in late 2005 as Director of an international school in Phnom Penh making good use of his well developed people-oriented skills. During his tenure, there was a strong period of re-design and expansion of a popular and successful private school.

Since April 2007, he has taken on the task of developing a language school in Siem Reap to an educational centre providing world standard full curriculum education as well as affordable language and ICT training courses, especially for the local Khmer population that strive to gain work in the tourism sector. This centre of education was re-founded as the International School of Siem Reap and is registered with the Ministry of Education.
