As we look to the future, we are united in our shared values and the noble spirit of service.

Since I left the army and over the last ten years or so, I was diagnosed with PTSD and seek counseling once a week. Due to this, it was hard to keep working in a professional and effective manner. However, since I came to MJQ I have found a new beginning in life and all the managing personnel that have worked under have been very understanding and so helpful with my mental health issues. To this end, it enables me to work at my best and produce effective work to help reach our targets. I have truly found a happy place to work and I enjoy coming to work, as I know that the people above me have my back just like when I served and I had the backs of those below me.

MJQ was my first job when I left the army. Building great friendships and everyone I worked with and under has been understanding and always helpful. As I’ve built myself another great career with a great company I’ve managed to climb the ladder up to the position I’m in now. I feel I owe a lot to M J Quinn as it wasn’t an easy time to leave the army at the start of covid and I’ve never looked back. and looking forward to many more successful years with the company.
