BARTON UNDER NEEDWOOD

Summary

I started working at Heaton Manufacturing Ltd whilst still in year 11 and have gained a range of experience in manufacturing since then. I have built my knowledge and experience from being a general warehouse packer through to becoming a welder working with fabrication. Throughout this time I have learnt about all areas of the business. I am now looking to secure an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering or a similar area of work. I believe that I would be well suited to a career in engineering as I enjoy working practically and am methodical in my approach to learning new skills.


I am a reliable and diligent professional with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
