About Cleddau.Com
Cleddau.Com started, in embryo form, back in the early-mid 1990's.  I toyed with a single page, then as time progressed I learned more and more about HTML and started adding more pages about myself, my ham radio hobby, my job etc.

I had so many queries from people that I spoke to that I kept adding pieces of information over time until even I didn't know what was what on the site. So I designed a completely new site, incorporating everything on the old site but in some semblance of order until it was basically the same as the site you are visiting now but in a different format.

I chose the domain name Cleddau.Com because there were so many 'how to get a job on an offshore oil rig.com' type websites. So I decided on something a little less mainstream and more personal and unusual.

All of the information within the site is free, even the addresses, website & email information. There is one link to www.rigjobs.co.uk which takes you to a CV Submittal Service. This is a pay per use service ($30) but I've checked it out thoroughly before putting up the link and it is 100% honest and genuine.

One of the most frequently asked of all questions is "What does 'Cled-Ow' mean?"

Well, it's a Welsh language word and a 'dd' in Welsh is pronounced like a 'th' in the word 'the'. The 'au' is pronounced as the letter 'i' so phonetically it is pronounced Cleth-eye. The word itself is the name of my local river in Pembrokeshire. The two forks of the Cleddau river run into the Milford Haven estuary. Milford Haven in Welsh is Aberdaugleddau, "Town on the two Cleddaus". Most people are sorry they ever asked :-)

About Me
For those that are interested, my name is Martin, born 21st September 1969 in Pembroke, Wales. I attended Pembroke Comprehensive School and left in 1987 to join the Army, Royal Corps of Signals.

I left the Army in 1989 and I started working offshore on oil rigs in June of 1990.

Most of my time offshore has been spent in the North Sea, UK & Dutch sectors but I spent most of 1995 working in the Irish Sea off Cork and also off my home Pembrokeshire coast. I have spent the last 5 years on a platform and FPSO offshore Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea.
