Jeff Richardson is an experienced Remote Operations Centre Manager, however, we spoke to him for this episode not about his job but what it is he does in his spare time: he is a dedicated and highly trained volunteering Coastguard rescue officer. He shares with us his unique experiences, and clearly explains what drives him to take on two demanding roles, where he has to consistently perform at his highest level.
Jeff takes us through the challenges and intense high-pressure situations faced by him and his team in the Coastguard. From the coordinated emergency response to the day-to-day intricacies of complex search and rescue operations, Jeff paints a vivid and compelling picture of the critical role played by the Coastguard in safeguarding vulnerable coastal communities.
