LETTER OF REFERENCE - MR GAZ WILCOX

I have known Mr (Warrant Officer Class 1) Gaz Wilcox since July 2014; he worked directly forme on a daily basis. ln his capacity as the Senior Housing & Estate Manager he wasresponsible for a very broad span of organisational and administrative tasks in support of theBritish military and civilian community in and around Bergen-Hohne in Germany. He heldprincipal responsibility for managing the housing and providing a wide span of associatedsupport for over 1200 propefties and the families occupying them. This all amounted torunning a budget in excess of f12 million annually.

ln the many aspects of his work in which I was involved, he always demonstrated excellentmanagerial and organisational skills. He did his whole job with absolute confidence and totalreliability, carrying along all those involved with his professional behaviour and high standards.Often under significant pressure of time and resources, he always demonstrated considerableattention to detail, carefully checking every minor aspect of any task to ensure that the endresult was of the requisite standard. He has an admirable work ethic and could be relied uponto deliver high grade results to a uniformly excellent standard and on time. He always provedwilling to assist and to take on additional tasks well beyond the remit of his own job, and he didso enlhusiastically and competently.

Mr Wilcox is an intelligent, extremely highly-motivated and most practical individual with astrong personality and a good sense of humour. A thoroughly likeable character, he can berelied upon to get on well with all his colleagues. He has astute and excellent perception ofsituations and of people, displaying discretion, integrity and clear judgement in allcircumstances. He expresses himself clearly both orally and on paper. He also sets highstandards in his own appearance, behaviour and performance.

ln summary, he is an outstandingly reliable and highly competent senior manager, who can betrusted to deliver results to the highest standard in all that he does. I have no hesitation inunreservedly recommending him for employment in any appropriate organisational ormanagerial capacity. He is well capable of taking on the most challenging and demandingtasks. I am prepared to provide further reference if requested.
