Summary
I'm a hardworking, service-oriented individual with a background in customer service, site joinery and maintenance. Throughout the last two years as an apprentice, I have gained skills and behaviours crucial to making a competent tradesman such as critical thinking, precision with hand and power tools, time keeping and a passion for what I do.
After leaving school, I was accepted on a college course for my Carpentry and Joinery Level 1 diploma at Sheaf Training in Sheffield. Whilst looking for an Apprenticeship, I worked at Aldi as a Store Assistant eventually finding an Apprenticeship at Gleeson Homes working towards my Level 2 in Carpentry and Joinery. Now, as my apprenticeship has come to an end and I have graduated with a distinction, I am looking for an opportunity to progress onto my next journey and looking forward to the future
