Staff and Instructors
Andrew Dorrell; (EDI Level 2 NVQ in Team Leadership, Diploma Business & Admin)
Commanding Officer
Anyone that joins the unit now has the greatest gift besieged upon them, that is try something they never thought was possible and to actually achieve it.
I am as passionate about this cadet unit and its individuals that attend, as I am about my football team, Leeds. I will endeavour to keep the ethics of the unit running for as long as I live but some people think that maybe forever.
