ADDITIOJNAL INFORMATION
While I attended Rostulla Special Needs School as a
child and would be classed as having a learning
disability, my passion has always been for vehicles,
particularly lorries and it is this passion that has driven me to develop myself further in every respect and in my
ability to attain my driving licence, then subsequently
my HGV licences. I can assure you that should I be
successful in my application that I will give 110% to the
job as I have always done with any work I have
undertaken since leaving school.
