Leadership profile

Daniel Nowakowski

Director · Danpol Ltd.

Since 2016 I have directed Danpol Ltd., building mobilisation programs that keep UK energy, rail, and infrastructure projects on schedule. I blend frontline scaffolding and insulation experience with strategic management, ISO implementation, and digital trust credentials so every outage plan pairs safety with data-backed governance.

Experience

Operating history

Hands-on trade routes, combined with strategic governance training, let me translate field constraints into board-level plans.

Director · Danpol Ltd.

Mobilising complex shutdowns

– Present · London & hybrid

I lead Danpol's mobilisation desk, matching client scopes to rapid-response rescue teams, coded welders, and safety partners while keeping compliance evidence audited in real time.

  • Set an operating philosophy rooted in openness, fairness, and transparency for every client engagement.
  • Pair industrial crews with digital trust tooling, ensuring data, PPE, and credential packs travel together.
  • Coach coordinators so rota planning, travel logistics, and control room updates stay in one story.

Managing Director · G & O Scaffolding Ltd.

Field-first scaffolding leadership

– · London

Co-owned a residential and light-commercial scaffolding service, building safe systems of work for crews who were trusted to reopen streets each evening.

  • Scaled local frameworks by reinforcing site safety briefings and on-site mentorship.
  • Kept labour scheduling, kit inspections, and billing synchronized to avoid overruns for homeowners.
  • Carried lessons from rope, scaffold, and insulation work into Danpol's mobilisation standards.

Education & leadership training

Postgraduate leadership stacked on technical roots.

Every qualification is chosen to bridge boardroom strategy with the realities of confined space work, scaffolding rigs, and digital compliance.

Focus

Curiosity that stretches from quantum electronics to reverse engineering.

Reading, R&D, and film remain my way to test new ideas before they become operating principles. It keeps the mobilisation desk creative even when the brief is rigid.

When I am not staging rescue teams, I dive into quantum electronics, reverse engineering, and AI safety research so the business stays ahead of emerging risks. Storytelling, whether through reports or cinema, helps me translate technical ideas for crews and control rooms alike.
