Ben Murphy
Fareham,Hampshire
Summary
My name is Ben, and I am 20 years old. I live with my parents in Portchester. I left school in 2022 and went on to study at the City of Portsmouth College, completing a 3-year course in Uniformed Protective Services. I was a senior cadet in the Army Cadet Force. Since April 2024, I have worked at Trafalgar Wharf, first as a seasonal worker and now as a Drystack Operative, learning many valuable skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the role. During my time with Premier Marinas, I have worked at four different sites and have an understanding of how the Marina, Drystack and Boatyard environments function. I have gained many valuable skills, including a B2 licence and a Telehandler licence, and am a qualified Banksman and slinger signaller. I have been given many responsibilities, such as running days with the tablet, and have acted as a Duty Manager for the day, with more days to follow. I have grown in confidence and experience as my career has progressed, and have become a valued and trusted voice in conversations about many work matters. I am eager to progress my career and move into an integral leadership role.
