Ian Delafield

I have spent most of my working life in a hands-on role and keen to continue this moving forward, I am a car driver and open to the location of work. I am an honest person and keen to learn and grasp new concepts of ideas, once in a role I am dedicated to a company and will be able to evidence this through my references. I enjoy fully working in a team or independently, and in the past have mentored and monitored people to help them learn a new role.
