I am very good at adapting to different situations and hold many skills enabling me to complete a wide variety of tasks to a very high standard. I have the skills to guide and lead others and would enjoy the opportunity to do so again.
I have a broad range of skills as I have been a joiner for 31 years. During this period of self employment I have mainly worked in properties including domestic and commercial shop fitting. I can competently carry out all aspects of joinery work and general building, meaning I can complete most projects on my own.
My role involved maintenance and call out jobs to domestic properties covered by Homeserve.
