Summary

After graduating from college with several City & Guilds including distinctions, I completed an apprenticeship in Lithographic Printing. I went back to college to the Musician’s Institute to study music. After a year long course I joined The Circus of Horrors as a guitarist touring the U.K., Europe and Japan. After moving to London I became a Passport & Visa Consultant, advising the public and Financial Institutions on such matters. From there I moved to the Metropolitan Police Service at Hendon Training School to their Recruitment department. I was also involved with setting up their recruitment bus at various events including Brighton Pride. After which I moved to the Brighton area and became a Transport Officer for St. Christopher’s School, working with children and teachers. I also represented the school at various events including the Brighton Marathon. This also inspired me to take part in the Brighton Half Marathon in 2015.

Throughout this period I have also bought and renovated several properties.

I have also kept playing music in various function bands.

I am now looking for a new chapter in my career development.

Other courses I have completed include;

Fire Safety Course

Manual Handling Course

First Aid Course
