Meet The Team
Omni Training Group Instructors are amongst the most experienced instructors you can be taught by in First Aid, and some of the best skilled when utilising our other services (other courses coming 2023).

ALL instructors can be randomly inspected anytime by the Directors of Omni Training Group Ltd.
You may request a particular instructor should you wish, from our ever growing and vetted family.
We are a family run business and meet up with our team on a regular basis to discuss improvements, ideas, updates, as well as building a bond outside of the business. This benefits the instructors, the business and ultimately the learners – YOU.

I started my Police career back in 1994 working the streets for the first 9 years. I specialised between 2003-2016 (having gained my D13.1 Enhanced First Aid qualification) in various roles including being deployed in hostile environments, covert deployments and “Police Minder” duties.
From 2016 I entered the training department full-time and became a First Aid & Self Defence Trainer and assessor (CAVA).
My passions are travelling and seeing the World; learning something new every few months, reading biographies & travel guides and enjoying good food.
David Attenborough is a hero of mine.
I love Apple products.
Family is the single most important part of my life.

I was born in Cambridgeshire and worked as a Physicians Assistant in the renowed Addenbrooke’s Hospital. I loved my role and enjoyed helping people from all backgrounds. I have since moved down to sunny Essex and work at Basildon Hospital.
I have a cat called Lily who is 13 years old and stars in our company video!
I enjoy cooking and gardening on the weekends, and have just started growing my own vegetables in my greenhouse. I also enjoy travelling abroad, visiting new places and trying as many different cuisines as I can.
I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie and love pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

My Police life started when I was a Special Constable in Essex Police but I could not justify the pay cut to join full time and leave Ford Motor Company!
In 2005 I decided life’s too short and joined the Metropolitan Police and cut my teeth on the streets of London and became a Public Order trained officer.
During this time I also became an occasional First Aid and Self-Defence Instructor. I then worked within various specialist units, until 2016 when I became a full time First Aid and Self-Defence Instructor acquiring my Teaching qualification and D13.1 Enhanced Ballistic First Aid certification.
Like my colleagues I have a passion for helping people learn vital life saving skills and an ability to make this training relevant, enjoyable and easy to learn.
I’m a dad to 3 boys, love sport especially football. My 6 year old and I have season tickets for the Arsenal (don’t hold that against me) and we also love rugby and cricket.
Favourite film is Jaws. Favourite beer Desperados. Favourite food Curry

I started my young working life in tourism, jet setting round the Caribbean, Africa and the Indian Ocean.
I then joined the Police in 2003 and enjoyed an exciting 13 years at the sharp end of front line policing before moving into teaching.
Having grown up in a military household with my mother, a special needs teacher for over 50 years and a Royal Sergeant Major father, I have experienced the power of leadership and witnessed the incredible influence an amazing teacher can have on a person.
I love walking my dog, a 4 year old black Labrador who I’ve trained from a puppy. I spend my free time gardening and driving round the UK in our caravan.
I play the piano, which I’m quickly reminded of by the family at Christmas, when everyone fancies a mince pie and a sing-a-long.
