Ben Cheyne

Hard-working, reliable and practical individual with experience across groundworks, concrete work, labouring, car valeting, window cleaning and tyre fitting. I have a good general knowledge of vehicles, supported by completing a one-year Motor Mechanics course at Arbroath College and gaining the relevant qualifications. I am confident using a wide range of hand and power tools, work well in busy environments and take pride in maintaining a high standard of work.

I am a quick learner, work well independently or as part of a team, and am keen to continue developing my skills. I also hold a full UK driving licence and am currently working towards obtaining my CSCS card.
