Joseph Atkinson Riley

I am a highly competitive, ambitious and goal orientated individual who is constantly seeking to push myself at new and rewarding challenges.

in my work life I am motivated to succeed in every task that I undertake and always want to be the best.

I am eager to learn and expand my knowledge and capabilities as I have done while serving in the British Army, where I continuously put myself forward for further courses and learning opportunities such as train the trainer qualifications, PT instructor, weapons handling instructor and even a recruitment posting for 6 months.

I have a breadth of experience in building and maintaining relationships through my time working behind a bar from the age of 16 to my time in the Army where conflict management and maintaining a healthy work environment while under the most extreme stress is almost a daily occurrence.

My passion if fitness, which started when I was promoted to fitness instructor in the Army. I enjoy every aspect of fitness from the constant ability to push yourself and further your own goals to the completive nature of fighting to achieve the goals, I have more recently taken up ultra marathon running (30mile +) as this is too me the pinnacle of endurance sports and where you can truly push the mind and body, a true test of determination.

Socially I am a very bright and confident young man who is normally described as a people person. I enjoy socialising with friends and see it as an important factor in my life to maintain the balance but also further verbal skills.
