What do you like about your job and the company?

My story line of my Army service. My service turned me from a shy, nervous kid from a care background in to a confident, positive man. The Army challenges you to be the best you can and pushes you to constantly deliver to very high standards. The values and standards you abide to will make you stand out in the crowd wherever you are.

Greatest achievements

I am now in my 40th year of service, albeit I had a break along the way. I came back to the Army as I needed to feel that trust, sense of belonging that I felt all those years ago when I first set of on my journey. Being back in uniform has given me the opportunity to inform and inspire others to join and experience the life that has given me so much.
