Dear Mr. Salter

Re: reference for Mr. John Bridge

Further to your letter dated 15 October, I am writing concerning the application of John Bridge for the position of Training Manager at STC International.

I have known John for over 15 years, and feel that the length of our friendship, together with my personal experience of working as Training Manager at Tarbus UK, allows me to comment on his suitability for the advertised position.

As you are aware, John is currently employed by Tarbus UNK as Training Co-ordinator for the busy Marmouth branch, where his main responsibility is to assess the training needs of the employees and arrange training programmes to meet these needs. This involves liaising with a large number of language and business skills organizations as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the training employees receive.

John has excellent interpersonal skills and is sociable, patient and a good listener. As a friend, I particularly appreciate his loyalty and sense of humor. I also admire the calm and logical way in which he approaches difficult situations.

I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position of Training Manager for your company and wish him every success in his application.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, either at the above address or on (01420)655567.

Yours sincerely

Julia Shipton

Training Manager
