How it all began…

RTA was formed early in 2007 by the proprietor Mark J. O’Dell when he retired from Cheshire Police after over 32 years service. During that period Mark gained a valuable insight into the workplace, he held various positions and ranks. He retired as a Departmental Police Inspector.

During his police career he developed a keen interest in workplace first aid training, CPR training, water safety including lifeguarding and health & safety, carrying out RLSS UK and St John Ambulance work, which culminated in him developing the second career in training and assessing services. For several years he was Branch Lifesaving Co-ordinator for Liverpool and District Branch of the the RLSS.
