Liaison Manager
I served with the Royal Welch Fusiliers now known as the Royal Welsh for a number years.
After leaving the army I have been involved in education and training working for various company's such the Prince's Trust delivering the team programme to 18 - 24 year olds across North Wales, Prospects For Young People looking after behavioural and emotional children in the care system. Wilderness Expertise as Manager looking after a team of Instructors delivering personal development programmes in schools and Colleges across the North West and also Manchester City Football Club working with their youth academy.
Started working for MPCT in 2007 where I worked in our Wrexham College until 2013 as an Instructor. In January 2015 I returned to MPCT after realising the 'grass was not as green on the other side' and went over to Birmingham to open our first of our Midlands Colleges as Lead Instructor. In April 2015 I then moved over to Wolverhampton to open our second College at Newhampton Arts Centre. In June 2016 I become Centre Manager MPCT Dudley this being our third college to open in the Midlands.
August 2016, I was promoted to the role of Area Operations Manager - West Midlands, looking after the operations of all of our Colleges in the West Midlands.
I am now a Liaison Manager based in the midlands.
