Bio
Nicholas Hayes
Marcus brings direct and relevant operational experience to his high level safety management and safety promotion role. A keen mind and wise insights are delivered with strength and empathy.
Matt Sheppard
Marcus is one of those infuriating pilots who is able to absorb a huge amount of information in a short space of time leaving training captains looking for something else to be able to show him the next time. To make things worse he will then trot off to a CASA meeting, planning meeting, or come up with something to save your company $400,000 in 3 weeks, including an implementation strategy and tasking program for the required departments. He has yet to find anyone smart enough realise his capabilities and deploy him high enough in the company to have maximum effect. I would certainly encourage any prospective employer or financier to give Marcus the latitude to operate freely within their company and enjoy the workload and effort he is able to generate.
