Over the 3 years Tony worked for me at RAF Cosford he proved to be an extremely dedicated, reliable and loyal individual who operated in a highly professional manner. He possesses excellent man-management skills and has a vast knowledgeable of the Survival Equipment trade; both built up over a long and successful career in the RAF. Not one to sit on his laurels, Tony is always keen to build on his already considerable experience and improve his skill-sets. He also has the ability of getting things done in difficult circumstances as well as proven change management experience. I trust his advice. It was a pleasure to work with Tony and I would recommend him to any employer as he is now looking forward to starting a second career. Squadron Leader John Bowden
