I am enthusiastic hard-working individual who is always polite and always on time for work. I see myself as a physical person who finds manual work enjoyable and challenging. I can work on my own adhering to targets in fast-paced environments as well as in a team. I feel that teamwork, good listening skills and willing to learn are my best attributes. I have in the past obtained a Counterbalance and it is RTITB accredited.
