Accomplishments

During my previous roles in asbestos removal and supervising, my company received numerous emails regarding the recognition of my work, including going above and beyond the required elements. I am always happy to help customers with other small jobs around their house if time allows and I recognise that they may need extra assistance. I believe that this is part of any job role, should your work time allow.
