Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks, Paul. I think we're getting there (and I like marshal a lot) but it sounds like a 'proper' job - which in this case, it isn't. This is simply someone who performs the task as and when required. However, I will use this for now and also kick myself for not coming up with it myself :-)
