About

My name is Robert Kendall I am 38 years of age. After leaving school, where I gained good GCSE results, I gained an OCN basic plumbing and 6129 city and guilds qualification in plumbing. I am currently a maintenance engineer on static caravans and a retained fire-fighter (although currently on a sabbatical leave due to personal reasons).

I have always been hands on, but I am looking for a career with future exciting prospects. When I left school I started to work on a sheep and beef farm in Whitland. I am honest, reliable and polite. I have the can do attitude where I am flexible when and where I work.

I always give 100% in everything I do.
