I have know David for many years. Great to see him in this position. I remembered the days I encouraged him to study when he was a mechanic
with the PTSC and VEMCOTT. and study fleet management. In-fact I believe he still has my fleet management book.
I have also worked alongside the Police Garage and supplied equipment.
I know David will do well in my homeland of Grenada. All the best I am due in Grenada in June. See you Pal and good luck. Great to see things are moving forward. I have some ideas for you David.
