Summary

I am a very hard working, reliable, trust worthy and highly motivated individual, who is familiar with a multitude of building maintenance and caretaking duties driving in all areas of the UK. I am extremely attentive to detail with a practical approach to problem solving and the ability to ensure that an extremely high standard of work is achieved. Although I am able to work extremely well on my own initiative I enjoy being part of a successful and productive team. I have a full clean driving licence for the past 47 years and my own transport, I have great knowledge of the Manchester roads as well as the rest of the UK.
