Louis Higgins

Hard-working, highly motivated and reliable bricklaying labourer with 6+ years experience in the construction industry. I began my career as a labourer before progressing into bricklaying and attending college in the evenings to achieve my City & Guilds Level 2 qualification in Bricklaying. I have gained extensive experience working on busy construction sites, new-build housing projects and domestic work, including extensions and garden walls.

I am confident working independently as well as as part of a team or bricklaying gang. I am very keen to continue developing my skills, gain further experience across different types of projects and progress towards becoming a fully qualified and competent bricklayer. I am dependable, willing to learn, have a full UK driving license and willing to travel to various sites and looking to build a long-term career within the construction industry.
