He is proud to receive the
medal but says he was just part of a larger team.

He said: “I was fortunate that I was
surrounded by a group of very good, professional and determined
individuals that were with me. It was through their professionalism
and enthusiasm and drive that we managed to get the job done to the
best of our ability and it was very much a team effort.”

in the next few weeks and says he has a very excitable six-year-old
daughter who hopes to be there too.
