BBTS Feedback

“Steven has been instrumental in transforming the image and brand of the Society over the last two years.”
Steve Morgan, Treasurer & Trustee, BBTS

"It is with great regret that the BBTS is saying goodbye to Steven Roberts, who has been our Manager for nearly three years. Over that period there have been many changes, including staff restructuring, moving the office to new premises and bringing the organisation of the ASM back in-house.
In addition, he has overseen significant development of the Website, and improvements in the Bloodlines newsletter. He has made a fantastic contribution to enhancing the professional image of the Society by his quiet yet thorough management. The Officers and Council will miss him greatly."

Judith Chapman, Ex-President

"Steve Roberts informed the Council that he had recently tendered his resignation as BBTS Manager as he is heading for pastures new. Council expressed regret about losing such a valuable Manager, but thanked Steve sincerely for all the work he had done for the BBTS, and wished him well in his future ventures."

St. John Ambulance Feedback

“Steven very quickly impressed not only me, but also the members of the St John Council that he was an
extraordinary person with a great deal of drive and enthusiasm.

I had no hesitation in recommending to the St John Council that Steven should be offered the post of County Executive on my retirement.”

Mr Alex Duffy, Former County Executive & Trustee

“Steven always displayed a great deal of initiative. In addition to the increase in revenue, he also set up a scheme for the purchase of community based defibrillators which helped increase first aid awareness in the community.”

Mr Alex Duffy, Former County Executive & Trustee

I am most grateful for the excellent work being carried out by St. John Ambulance in promoting citizen C-P-R and in the introduction of automated external defibrillators in the community.

As a regular reader of the Nottingam Evening Post, I have been most impressedby the obvious energy and enthusiasm surrounding the 'start-a-Heart' campaign. I know it's already having an impact on the people of Nottinghamshire and I hope it has the success it deserves in saving lives.

The pioneering and exemplary work of St John Ambulance in this area of emergency response is widely admired and respected.
