  Situational Awareness & Self Defence Expert

  Are you a Facilities, HR or Security Director and feel concerned that with so many different responsibilities you do not currently have anything in place to ensure the personal safety of people across the organisation?Be proactive and ensure they receive training on how to identify and manage risks to their personal safety and security. Unfortunately, when a robbery, mugging, terrorist incident, physical or sexual assault occur it is not only a personal tragedy but often presents as an issue for you or HR to manage.Incidents can occur when and where they are least expected and may affect the individual concerned, their family, department and sometimes the effectiveness or reputation of the organisation.I have been providing Situational Awareness & Self Defence training for over 20 years, have an MSc in Counter Terrorism and a strong understanding of delivering in the corporate sector where for many years I worked at a senior level in large corporations regularly travelling on business.For more information and to arrange a discussion please message me directly on LinkedIn and I will be in touchTraining offered.● Situational Awareness Workshop ● Protecting your people and business from terrorism workshopWhat People Say"Recently, Tony Willis was invited to give a conference in our organisation.
