Graham knows the path our members are on because he has walked it himself. He left full time service in the British Army, where he served as a Non-Commissioned Officer with tours of Iraq, Afghanistan and Kenya, and built a new career from the ground up, running his own training business before joining the fire service and moving into close protection.
