Communication skills
I have learned over the years that proper communication is a must, ensuring all fully understand what is been asked and said. This may have to be repeated when someones understanding of the English language is not that good. Be clear, respectful and confident.
Organisational / managerial skills
As an ex Royal Marine, I have always taken pride in all my skills, to plan ahead, rehearse/train. I have learnt well from others and in turn I have been able to pass those skills on. I have in the past been ‘thrown’ into the deep end from having to organise not only myself, but up to 100+ personnel, from course planning, briefings, instruction and day to day admin, which to date I have been successful in achieving the aims set out. I continue to learn and I am flexible to understand that procedures and conditions change, therefore I too have to adapt.
Job-related skills
I have enrolled in a number of close protection courses, using skills that I would not normally carry out, that would include advance driving in various climate and environmental conditions, advanced my knowledge in medical treatments. Had an insight how corporate companies and governmental departments like to be portrayed and treated. Security companies do differ to how they operate, so I have become very flexible and responsesive. I have become compassionate but professional, I have gained respect within the industry because I am a good operator, manager, trainer and mentor.
Computer skills
I am of an average user
Other skills
I have a law degree that has assisted me in some decision making and organisation skills. I have qualifications in electrical engineering that has come in handy when the power supply goes down in location!
Driving licence
I have a clean British drivers licence. B/B1/fkp
