Summary

I am 57 years old and due to unforseen circumstances beyond my control I lost my hgv1 licence,before this happened I thought I had a successful career.When I left the school at 16 I joined the Army and was recruited by the Royal Engineers. I spent 12 years in the Army and travelled to many countries. I think I was taught and gained many great values. I think that I am very honest and reliable with a great attitude to life. I pride myself on not letting people down and doing the best I can at every task I apply myself to. I don't like taking time off and pride myself on punctuality. I have been driving now 39years with no incidents and have not been sacked by any company I have worked
