Summary

Committed individual with a proven ability to self-motivate and complete, tasks, both as an individual, part of, or indeed leading a team. I pride myself in being honest and reliable with a can-do attitude and I possess excellent communication and organisational skills. Holding a full and clean Class 1 (C1+E) along with up to date CPC qualifications, on a daily basis I demonstrate a keen ability to plan logistically together with an understanding and respect of current legislation and guidance. having worked in the family business since I was 16, I was always driven to be able to lead a team to successfully transit one home to another with a cheerful disposition in the face of a stressful time for the customer, whilst ensuring packing and loading were completed efficiently and safely. Becoming a driver in 2022 has enabled me to see this ambition through.
