Samantha Craig
Longridge
Summary
After 10+ successful years within business development, building strong relationships and supporting key accounts across England, Scotland and Wales, I have redirected my career towards a personal passion, community support/safety.
I am a dependable retained firefighter in my spare time which provides emergency and time critical response experience.
I believe my quick decision making skills, high standards of service, calm demeanour under pressure, dedication to protecting lives and my deeper understanding of Policing due to my Police and Criminal Investigation Degree, I hope to be a strong candidate for the role.
