About
I started my work from school on my parent’s farm, gaining experience of driving tractors, diggers, dumpers and towing trailers. I have spent most of my profession doing manual work outdoors, which I enjoy, so I’m accustomed to working in all weathers and doing physical work that requires a good level of fitness. In more recent years, I became a landlord allowing me time to play an active role bringing up my two young children, as well as working self-employed part time using my existing skill set to carry out painting, decorating, building and gardening works for clients.
I am now looking for a new challenge and the security of employed / contracted work.
