Gary Forster

I am a bright and receptive person, able to communicate well with people at all levels. I can work unsupervised alone or as a member of a team and I like to use my skills to make a positive contribution to the workforce. I have a flexible and positive approach to employment and am willing to train to suit my next working environment.

I am keen to obtain new skills and training and have a flexible approach to all work situations and find it easy to adapt. I am a confident driver with a clean driving licence. I have my own transport and an excellent knowledge of local and national road and motorway networks.
