John Davies-Abingdon

I am a mature friendly person who works well with other people. I am a very honest and hard-working individual who is pro-active in promoting an effective and efficient team spirit. I have learnt many different skills throughout my cadet training for army preparation such as; team building, problem solving, tracking, shooting, self-discipline as well as discipline needed for taking orders.

I have great respect for those I work with especially with clients and investors as they play a vital role within the community. I am very reliable, trustworthy and dedicated, with a flexible approach to working hours and a willingness to undertake any training necessary.
