Gary Cozens

I am an enthusiastic individual with considerable experience working with the public. I have a high standard of customer service skills; I'm confident, reliable and hard working. I am flexible with my hours, friendly, outgoing and I have strong practical skills.

I enjoy taking on new challenges and always looking to learn new skills. I am seeking a career orientated around a job which will allow me to apply skills I already have and to develop them further. I hold a full UK driving licence.

I Love working outside which is a passion of mine. I hold a chainsaw licence and a pole saw licence aswell as very good experience with all types of garden machinery including ride on mowers like the ransom 213, husqvarna and the iseki. I love working outside with the willing to learn new skills.
