Keith Shepherd

I am a reliable, trustworthy individual that thrives from achieving personal goals. I work well as an individual and as part of a cohesive team, I always show proactivity and positivity. My time keeping is second to none and I give 100% commitment to any given task always completing jobs within given timeframes.

I strive to achieve departmental KPI's and see this as my personal goal within a working environment. I am a motivational leader that recognises strengths and weaknesses with a team and encourages to continuous professional development through proactive encouragement.
