Dan is a man of rare character. His exquisite judgement, delightful turn of phrase, and wicked sense of humour make him the only person I know who in one conversation can leave you feeling inspired to act, empowered to lead, and incapacitated by laughter. What’s even more impressive is that he does this whilst only mobilising 6 of the 43 facial muscles at his disposal. Dan’s remarkable military and commercial journey provide him with valuable insights and perspectives that are underpinned by scientific and academic rigour. At Torchlight we engaged Metris to deliver a range of training and advisory packages, with results that exceeded individual and collective expectations. I would unequivocally recommend Metris and if you are a business leader struggling to justify the investment, for either an underperforming, or high performing team (or individual), then please feel free to contact me and I’d be delighted to talk about the transformational returns we experienced.

Well apart from being honourable, a great laugh, brilliant at his craft, a staunch realist, a room reader, a family man, an inspirer and someone whose opinion I rely upon for wisdom, Dan's a bit crap really. You get the picture. Pretty sure that Dan and team could solve pretty much any problem in a boardroom, an account group, on a mountain or hanging from a pair of Olympic rings. If you want to define, nurture and develop your people in line with your business growth ambitions give him a buzz.

Dan is a highly talented mentor and coach, and an exceptional leader. I served with him at the UK Defence Academy where he played a pivotal role mentoring newly promoted Army and Royal Marines middle managers (Majors), developing their leadership, analytical and communications skills. Selected for this prestigious post from amongst the top 10% of his Army peer group, Dan has an in-depth conceptual understanding of leadership, with extensive practitioner experience in the most demanding environments. Highly intelligent, inspiring and motivational. He is one of the most capable officers I have worked with. I recommend him in the strongest terms for any executive or leadership-related role.

      The Buchanan Trust, a farm-based recovery & training charity for Armed Forces Veterans. OUR MISSION STATEMENT To help those who have served in the armed forces, enabling them to transition into civilian life by offering short term accommodation, accredited training, skills, work experience and employment opportunities in the rural and construction sectors. THE VISION – SUPPORT FOR THE NATIONS VETERANS To create a national facility for former service men and women who live in a community that helps each other to recover, grow, learn and work. In order to achieve this vision, the Trust must raise significant funds. It intends to do this by a combination of grant applications, fundraising and donations. Without your continued support and generosity, we wouldn’t be able to be there for our veterans when they need us most. https://www.buchanan-trust.org.uk/ For more information, please contact: info@buchanan-trust.org.uk dan.simmons@buchanan-trust.org.uk
