David, of Southport, joined the company in 2009 as training and development officer and has been responsible for implementing Glendale Liverpool’s apprenticeship schemes, creating bespoke training programmes and managing their delivery.

A former lecturer in horticulture at Myerscough College, David is also working towards a National Examination Board in Occupational Health (NEBOSH) certificate and diploma.

David said: “My new role presents a fresh set of challenges, and I’m looking forward to working closely with contract managers and regional directors to improve and achieve a stronger health and safety culture and increase awareness of risks, which will prevent incidents occurring.”

Mike Brunskill, director with responsibility for health and safety at Glendale, said: “David’s extensive experience and industry knowledge means he is well equipped for this role, working to help Glendale continue to maintain an excellent record in health and safety and compliance.”
