Bio
Paul Squires
"I have known Steve for the last 7 years and our paths have crossed on a number of military and commercial contracts. He is a consummate professional. He has an innate ability to get to the the crux of problems and solve them quickly and effectively. His training ability with all nationalities has proven to be outstanding; I can personally say, I have seen him achieve some fantastic results in very adverse and hostile conditions, in very short amounts of time. He has a analytical approach and leaves no stone unturned when planning and achieves quality in all he does. I would not hesitate to have Steve on-board in the future, and his qualities as a trainer and mentor would be an asset to any organistaion."

I have known Steve for many years and have had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions. Steve has all the qualities you would expect of a very high calibre British Army Warrant Officer, but he is exceptional when it comes to getting the best out of people. I have observed him on many occasions and am simply in awe of his ability not only to integrate himself into any organisation or group, but also to mould those around him into a cohesive team through excellent interpersonal skills, inspirational leadership and intuitive management techniques. In summary, if you want to build an effective team of people and collectively inspire them to achieve a common goal under difficult circumstances or demanding timelines, then Steve is your man. He has my unequivocal recommendation for employment in any management role and I would gladly work with him at any time in the future
