Duane Mellows

I'm an enthusiastic individual who likes to work hard. I have 12 years HGV Mechanics & MOT preparations experience, where I independently covered standby call outs to assist HGV breakdowns. Whilst I was doing the mechanics I obtained my HGV Class 2 and Class 1 licences which I've held for 5 years.

My training was provide in-house. Prior to doing the HGV mechanics I was a Warehouse Operative with 7 Years Team Leader experience & have completed a Fire Warden course. Fully capable of leading a team and operating a fork lift.

I have overseen a team of four however have run larger teams. Since I have started my career, I have held an excellent record of service. My goals are to progress within a company to ensure a brighter future for my family.

I'm currently doing vehicle mechanics on domestic vehicles. I'm people friendly and can approach anyone in any situation as I deal with customers face to face on a daily basis. I also enjoy problem solving and working alone or within a team.
