About
Worked in construction industry since I was 16 years old, straight from school. Did an apprenticeship in scaffolding then joined the Royal Marines and served with them. Once I served my time I went back scaffolding until 5 years ago and decided I wanted a new challenge.
So I started with Gas Sense in west Cumbria and learnt all the basics about plumbing and heating. Sat My ACS 2 and half years ago and passed. Also gained my cookers, heaters, LPG and Air Source Heat pumps.
Looking for a new challenge and more work.
