- This period covers all the various employments I’ve had through agency work and my own personal contracts. During this time, I was fortunate to have the experience of working on a wide range of different sites. These included office conversions, hotel fit outs, a dry/wet rot preservation company, a barge conversion in Leith docks and a complete shop renovation for use as a takeaway restaurant in Dalkeith. As such varied jobs suggest there were a great deal of different skills required and challenges to overcome which I enjoyed immensely and for which I received good customer and employer feedback. My own private jobs were mainly domestic and included replacing doors, laying floors, renovating bathrooms and kitchens, attic flooring, fitting windows ETC.
