As Managing Director of ETC, Trevor is committed to supporting ETC team members in providing the best possible standards in all areas of ETC services. A needs-based, client-centred approach to the provision of services is the core component of Trevor's personal philosophy to business and this is reflected in ETC's vision, mission, values and business practices. Improved performance is the bottom line of all ETC interventions.
