About

Multi-skilled joiner with over 20 years' experience in the construction industry, working across commercial and residential projects in both joinery and multi-skilled roles. Alongside formal carpentry training, proactively developed secondary trade skills—such as plumbing, plastering, and tiling—by working closely with other tradesmen, observing their techniques, and applying those methods on site to become a more versatile tradesperson. Extensive experience in maintenance work, with particular focus on council housing contracts.

Highly trusted on site, with background including work on secure projects requiring strict vetting clearance. Former company director with strong project management skills and proven commitment to quality, safety, and compliance.
