Company HQ

Officer Commanding (OC)

Major M. Ewart

I assumed command of W Company on the 6th May 2010, having previously held the post of 2IC for 18 months. Prior to this I spent time as the Company Training Officer.

I began my ACF career in November 1995, initially as a Sergeant Instructor at Alnwick Detachment. After approximately two years I moved to the Officers Mess as an Adult Under Officer, before successfully attending the Territorial Commissions Board at Chilwell, Nottingham and being Commissioned in September 1998.

I had the privilege to first command Alnwick Detachment as Detachment Commander for some five years, followed by three years as Detachment Commander at Berwick Detachment, before taking up appointments at Company HQ.

As OC W Company I am responsible for all aspects of cadet and adult training, welfare, discipline and the management of the Company's resources. To this end I am assisted by my 2IC, Training Officer, CSM and CQMS.

I am privileged to command W Company and my mandate is to provide a safe environment in which every cadet can develop personally through a variety of mentally and physically challenging activities, whilst experiencing and learning new skills and developing their self-respect and self-confidence. In order to do this we concentrate on both stimulating and practical training and above all ensure that both Adults and Cadets have FUN!

We are continually reminded in today’s press and media of the problems in society linked directly to our younger generation. The Army Cadet Force stands out as a beacon to just what our young people can achieve with the appropriate guidance and encouragement. That it does so owes much to the dedicated group of adults who give freely of so much of their time to plan and prepare activities that offer the excitement and opportunities required to inspire our cadets to achieve. Without them the organisation would simply be unable to function.

I am proud to be a part of the success story that is W Company, and look forward with anticipation to further success in the future.
