Steven Taylor

Retired

Sawbridgeworth

Summary

Following a 30 year police career I retired, aged 51, in 2013. I am now enthusiastic to return to the world of work and take on a new challenge.

My transferrable skills from policing include a high level of driver training; great communicator; excellence in all aspects of work; flexibility to meet changing situations and demands; emphasis on safety; negotiation and de-escalation skills.

I drove professionally in the police and have a clean licence which I have held for 42 years.

I have experience of driving high-end vehicles, having owned a number of Mercedes S class and Porsche.

I was a uniform wearer for a number of years and fully understand the importance both to employer and client of being clean, smart, and carrying a uniform well.
