Posted By Paul Craythorne Mike, I am interested in the position you advertised. I telephoned the number and was connected to an answer machine. The recorded message asked for a job reference which I do not have. I left my details anyway but am not sure whether I will receive anything without giving the reference. Could you please let me know what the reference is either by posting a message or by e-mail on PCrayth@aol.com Regards, Paul

Posted By Frank Neville Johnson Unable to get through on your telephone line. I am 52 years old, an officer in the Fire Service and will soon retire (Late March 2001) after a varied and most fulfilling 22-year career, predominantly with a fire safety reference. Having gained the NEBOSH diploma and a teaching qualification recently, I am now seeking employment or contract work as a safety advisor preferably based in the East Midlands but willing to travel. I joined the Fire Service in 1979 from a career as a Mechanical Engineering Technician. My current responsibilities include the health, safety and welfare of officers, enforcement of fire safety law, training fire-fighters and commanding operational incidents. Also under contract, I advise the MoD in the implementation of Crown Fire Standards and carry out fire risk assessments at several Royal Air Force bases. I have developed mail-merge/database programs to simplify this process. If I'm not too late, and you are interested you can contact me tel: 01476 407846 or email: fred.johnson@ntlworld.com
