Zak Dwyer

I'm often described as a resilient, dependent and open individual, which I credit to my 4 years invested in competitive boxing. During my time I would often mentor people of all ages, providing advice and instructions to align with the unique needs of each person in order for them to advance their skill set. My devotion and conviction to the sport rewarded me with the titles of Merseyside and Chesire champion and also a wide range of offers from various clubs across the north west.

Due to the discipline boxing installed in me, I am accustomed to working for long periods of time, as well as adjusting to unfamiliar environments and situations; as a result I am easily able to perform efficiently and productively in a timely manner, especially in group settings. In my spare time I enjoy drawing and critically analysing media, as well as going to gym with my friends which has enabled me with proficient time management.

Machine Operator at Adapa (2024-10 – 2025-02)

At adapa I was required to operate 2 machines, which produced laminated plastic bags which I would then package up and fill pallets up of boxes, normally producing 10 thousands bags a day on average. I was required to learn and manage the machine, such as reel changes, fixing when it was down, starting and shutting it down correctly, which all required intuitive critical thinking skills to learn how it worked and to make sure the product was up to code.
