Daniel Cranham - SRMC®️

A highly self-motivated, confident and reliable individual with significant and proven leadership skills, having worked in a demanding environment during a successful career of 14 years with HM British Army. Fully experienced in the field of project and change management, as well as having excellent communication and interpersonal skills at all levels, both written and verbal. As a strong and pro-active team player I can also work autonomously when required and always within Health and Safety guidelines.

Experienced in mentoring, coaching and developing the next generation of soldiers coming through Infantry Training Centre. Upon leaving the army I will be seeking to further my skills in leadership and management, mentoring and coaching. Willing to work in any global location, having no domestic issues.

I keep my skills and qualifications updated as an aid to both my personal and professional development.
