Eddy is dedicated, hardworking, innovative and proactive.

These would include facilities that are not to standard, equipment that is inappropriate and also staff whose own image of their ability is often not quite what the reality is demonstrating. In all of these situations Eddy has been able to bring any problem to a solution and always seeks the extra information if not sure or, when needed, researches the answer.
