Personal Statement

I am a highly qualified and experienced individual with an excellent level of leadership and man management skills. I have developed these attributes over a number of years working for a large PLC organisation.

I gained an honours degree in health in 1996 specialising in hypo-kinetic disease and have a number of other relevant qualifications including health & safety, environmental awareness and energy maintenance.
