About
I have always liked working with my hands and I pick up and retain skills easily. I have been labouring for most of my working life but I'm keen to learn a trade that will allow me to provide for my family for the future. I have excellent communication and listening skills and I enjoy working with people, although I also work confidently on my own. I am hard working, trustworthy, reliable and a quick learner and I drive and have a car.
