Boston,Lincolnshire

Summary

I have worked hard throughout my life; gaining a high level of education prior to completing a 5 year apprenticeship then starting my own business as a farrier. I have been self employed since 1998 which has required hard, physical, energetic work and dedication, having an established client base who I undertook work for (as horses require regular shoeing) every 6 weeks. I was polite, punctual and had many clients for over 20 years which illustrates they were happy with the service I provided and the rapport we built. Furthermore since I was self employed I have organisational skills and an ability to undertake book-keeping which are transferrable to a role linked to HGV driving and deliveries.
