Various

For 13 years I served with the Royal Air Force as a Supplier at a number of locations within the UK and abroad, including the Falkland Islands, Cyprus and Ascension Island, where I specialised in the storage, handling and Quality Assurance of Petrol Products and Hazardous Goods. I was commended for my work in the Falkland Islands where I was responsible for the collection, segregation and disposal of Hazardous Waste accumulated over 10 years whilst working closely with civilian specialists and army personnel. During my service with the Royal Air Force, I was chosen on a number of occasions for temporary promotion to deputise for my superiors, not because I was the most senior person in post, but because I had demonstrated the ability to accept more responsibility and was more than capable of filling the post.
