Completing his service career seconded to the Ministry of Defence as a technical writer, he emigrated to South Africa in 1966 where he worked, for many years, for a local manufacturing and systems integration company involved in industrial process control, SCADA, and PLC-based systems.

Later, as editor and managing editor of a leading monthly engineering Journal, Mick wrote and published hundreds of articles as well as eight technical resource handbooks on industrial process control. He subsequently founded his own PR and advertising company and was retained by a number of leading companies involved in the process control industry including: Honeywell, Fisher-Rosemount, Krohne, Milltronics and AEG. Apart from producing all their press releases and articles, he also undertook the conceptualisation and production of a wide range of advertisements and data sheets, as well as newsletters.
