"I have started a new job at Looe Community School having volunteered for early release (redundancy) from the MOD and the school has just commissioned work to prepare for conversion to an Academy – one of the single biggest decisions in the school’s history.
My Chartered Manager status and the award of Chartered Manager of the Year for the South West gave me the belief that I am marketable, even in the current economic climate, as well as the confidence to leave the MOD after 30 years to pursue a new career; since joining six weeks ago my management skills have very much proven to be transferrable and I am adding value."
