Hobbies and interests

  • Technology- I like to keep up to date with the latest technology when I have time, for example not too long ago I researched and bought all of the components for a new PC and built it on my own.
  • Engineering- With my brother, dad and grandad being electrical engineers I am often exposed to some of the problems they may have faced during their day at work. This has inspired me to want to go into the engineering field and follow in their footsteps.
  • Fitness- I like to keep on top of my fitness by attending the gym 3-5 times a week with my friends on a push, pull, legs split
  • Golfing- I often go golfing with my friends at the Eden Golf course of which i am a member. Although i am not very good i still enjoy practicing and having the day out socializing with my friends.

Work Experience

  • During the summer holidays i spent 1 month with a specialist IT company called Logic Business Systems. In this month I spent my time interacting with customers over telephone to try and assist them with their IT issues. This often required me to be quick thinking and adaptive. As well as this i was also trusted to help deconstruct old computers and monitors in which i gained valuable experience about working with tools.
  • I have been on 1 weeks work experience with my dad and his company Ionity during 2025 where I shadowed him working on 350KW DC Electric Vehicle chargers. It was of great interest to me how the sites were set up and how the power was converted from AC to DC to charge the vehicles.
  • During Year 10 my school offered a week where everyone had the chance to do work experience in which we had to find and apply to a company which we believed could help us learn different aspects of jobs such as the application process and how different companies are structured and what it is like to work within them. I managed to secure a placement at Story Contracting where I worked in the different departments of the company such as the Quantity Surveying department, the estimation department and the plant services department. Whilst I worked in these different sectors I was given tasks to complete such as estimating the cost for a new car park and fixing the hydraulic tube of a large excavator on site with the team from plant services.
