One example of a trusted relationship which led to extraordinary outcomes was my time as a senior member of the Royal Household where I was responsible for all aspects of HM The Queen’s relationship with the Armed Forces. As Defence Services Secretary from 2010-2012 I was responsible for planning all military elements of HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, all military ceremonial involvement in the London 2012 Olympic Games and all ceremonial aspects of the 2011 Royal Wedding. Overseeing 5,000 staff, these events were viewed by over 100 million people worldwide. https://www.dpmurray.co.uk/myexperience/project-two-pw7at monthly 0.5 2020-04-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e99be5e57013a4f797c6f8c/t/5e9b167f4ee1eb456047b3fc/1587222287991/1A8A7016.jpg My experience - In the press - In the press I regularly appear in the press, discussing my work and leadership.

My experience has seen me commercialise and modernise institutions, build high performing leadership teams, merge existing services to drive efficacy and make difficult decisions that ensure immediate impact and long term success. My leadership at SSAFA saw income rise by 30%, and 42% at the RAF Benevolent Fund. At the heart of my approach is effective staff management. I have deep knowledge of how to lead, but also how to listen. This is underpinned with a strong understanding of the fundamentals of people strategy and policy. At RAF Halton, I led one of the UK’s largest training colleges, training up to 25,000 personnel a year. More strategically, as Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff (Personnel) I oversaw all military personnel and training policy. https://www.dpmurray.co.uk/myexperience/awardsandrecognition monthly 0.5 2020-04-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e99be5e57013a4f797c6f8c/t/5e9b198cea6b285e75037568/1587222942290/ My experience - Awards and recognition - Awards and recognition Throughout my career I have been recognised for my work at a national level.

I also led diverse delivery of direct services including addiction, relationship breakdown, debt, homelessness, post-traumatic stress, depression and disability.
