Colin Date - Regional Director

Colin brings a wealth of experience to FRS, having served 12 years with the Royal Air Force Security Branch. Since leaving the Royal Air Force he worked with British Airways for 10 years in security operations and global loss reduction investigation and strategy management roles.  This was followed by heading up security for the highly successful Qatar Airways and its group of companies. Based for 12 years in Doha, Qatar Colin understands the Service structures, the commercial equivalent and the multitude of valuable skills someone with an Armed Forces background can transfer to specialist market sectors.  He intends to build long term partnerships working collaboratively with clients and candidates.

Colin will focus exclusively on matching exceptional people with quality jobs across a broad range of market sectors.  His aim is to offer a wide range of roles for people who are leaving the military and looking to launch their second careers as well as to assist those who have already gained commercial experience to progress further.  He is committed to ensuring that business and industry from all sectors, both in the UK and globally, from SMEs to multi-national blue-chip organisations, benefit from the undoubted skills and experience that individuals with an Ex-Military background will bring.  Colin firmly believes that working closely and openly with clients and candidates is essential to success.
