Summary
I am a reliable and hardworking nature-lover with experience in garden landscaping and general construction labouring. I enjoy working outdoors and I am always looking to learn new skills to further my career. Through my previous work, I have developed a strong work ethic, experience using a range of tools and equipment, and an understanding of working safely as part of a team. I am keen to begin a career in tree surgery, where I can build my skills, gain qualifications, and develop into a knowledgeable arborist.
