About

I'm a practical and reliable individual with over ten years' experience working in arboriculture, estate maintenance and land management. I'm confident operating, maintaining and fault-finding a wide range of groundcare and forestry equipment, including chainsaws, chippers, hedge cutters and powered machinery. I enjoy hands-on mechanical work, take pride in keeping equipment running safely and efficiently, and am always keen to develop my technical skills.

With my teaching contract ending, I'm looking to return to a fulltime practical role where I can build a long-term career maintaining and repairing groundcare machinery.
