PERSONAL PROFILE:
I have been involved in staff training since the early 1990s initially involved staff development with regard to security
issues and anti terrorist protection of company assets, for both my parent company and subcontracted to other
companies with assets around the world. This then led to working in Marketing and development of in house sales staff.

standards. Following my 3 month contract Easton College achieved its highest grade in 10 years, putting it safely inside
