Summary

I am a highly experienced and dedicated bricklayer with 18 years hands on experience in the construction industry, holding a advanced craft qualification in brickwork. Throughout my career as a self-employed tradesman I have developed a strong eye for detail and understanding of building standards. Working independently has strengthened my sense of responsibility, organisation and communication skills. I have regularly worked along side site managers, contracts and clients to ensure high standards of work. My practical experience has given me an extensive understanding of site processes and industry regulations.

Personal I am 39 and feel this is the time to further my career and feel motivated by professional ambition but also personal responsibility. As a husband and father to three young children, I am committed to building a stable and successful future for my family. Outside of work I enjoy following football and spending time with family and friends as well as supporting my children in their sporting activities, which gives me drive to achieve more and set a positive example for them.
