Gary has 32 years Project Logistics experience operating globally, one of his previous appointments was the Logistics Lead for Agility DGS where he was responsible for coordinating all logistics activity for the final drawdown of the UK Armed Forces leaving Afghanistan, the largest scale Military drawdown since WWII. During this project Gary was approached to build a refugee camp named SAWRA (Hope) Village in Kurdistan on behalf of two Christian charities, this project received global recognition. Gary has had a great military career but knows full well how hard it is to make the transition when leaving the forces. Leaving the forces at the end of your career is exciting and also quite daunting, leaving with additional pressures of an injury makes it even more difficult to make the transition
