Summary

A current Postman, often working unsociable hours, with a track record of punctuality, hard work and discipline. All of which are natural parts of my personality. However they where drilled into me for life during my 7 years as an Infantryman, serving in The Kings Regiment, as part of the British Army, where I helped instil these values into others, especially on promotion to Lance Corporal, where one of my many responsibilities, was to have overall responsibility of the upkeep and maintenance of a 25 tonne Warrior armoured personnel carrier whilst in barracks. Whilst out on operations or exercise, I was responsible for a team of 10, all of which where part of the crew of the vehicle. I was trained as a driver of the Warrior vehicle also, and carried out weekly, monthly and yearly services.

I am looking to change careers to be able to give my family as good a life as I can, as they are the main motivation for anything I do. I believe I have the transferable skills to be able to be a great asset to your company.
