David, Watch Manager at Coleshill fire station, transferred to WFRS in 2011 and has never looked back:
"Being a Watch Manager at Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service is incredibly fulfilling. I love the opportunity to lead and support my team, helping them develop and reach their full potential.
“This role has challenged me in many ways, particularly in terms of leadership and personal growth. Managing a team of 12 at Coleshill fire station has pushed me to think differently and develop a wide range of skills, thanks to the extensive training and development opportunities provided by WFRS.
“To me, leadership in this role means being passionate about people, guiding them, and creating a positive impact on their lives and careers. One of the things I'm most proud of in my career is being part of the trauma support team, where I can make a real difference in helping my colleagues cope with the aftermath of challenging and traumatic incidents.
“Experienced Wholetime Watch Managers should consider transferring to WFRS because of the strong investment in personal and professional development, as well as the supportive and nurturing environment. I transferred to WFRS in 2011 and have loved every moment since.”
