FORMER MI6 agent David Handley spoke to Worthing High School’s most able Year 11 students about careers in the UK Security and Intelligence Agencies.
David shared his career history with students.
He started in the motor industry prior to working in MI6 which enabled him to work in Lebanon, Hungary, Arabian Gulf, Guatemala, Egypt, Middle East, Africa and finally end his career with MI6 as Deputy to “C”.
Business Manager Karen Hayler said: “He shared with students the differences between GCHQ. MI5 and MI6.
“GCHQ produces intelligence from communications, leads on cyber issues and breaks codes.
“MI5 works in the UK to protect the homeland from threats, terrorism, espionage and serious crime.
“MI6 works abroad on challenges and threats from overseas, gathering intelligence.”
