Summary

I have for many years been enjoying my jobs as a painter and decorating but now feel is time for a change. I am now looking for a secure job employed by a company with a pension attached and paid holidays in a secure environment. Although most of my work in the past has been around the decorating trades I would like a different challenge now and feel I would be a good asset to someone willing to give me a chance to have a career change.
