I worked closely with Mark at Virgin Australia completing project work and in this time he always went above and beyond to complete his tasks. Mark shows great attention to detail which is crucial in project deployment and I commend his commitment to ‘getting the job done’ which would sometimes mean working throughout the night.

Mark is a reliable and motivated instructor. He is knowledgeable and others seek him out to answer their queries. he is well liked by both the staff and cadets of our unit. He understands the needs of Australia's Youth and can be trusted to provide an even handed approach. I enjoy his company and find him a good communicator.
