      Danny Coomber, director, Consultants

    • Training and Development

      Linda Matthews, learning and development manager, Central Services

      “During my time in the navy, I became used to placing my trust in the people that I worked with. This has transferred into my current working life, as I am able to ensure that the colleagues I am supporting have the knowledge to get things done on time."

      Philip Walker, operations manager, Energy and Oils, Environmental Science

      “The ability to deal with multiple issues in a highly pressured environment prepares you for pretty much any operational position, and the Armed Forces was fantastic at providing me with the training and resilience to carry out my current role."
    • technician water industry careers veteran

      Matthew Thomas, senior technician, Water Treatment & Equipment
