Summary
Following a long career in hospitality I pivoted to working in security for a while and then started an apprenticeship in Formwork Carpentry at HPC in Bridgwater which I have since completed. While there I completed various training in fire watching, incident controller, steel fixing and a first responder course since taking redundancy.
I've got experience with hand tools and power tools. I don't mind long hours or physical work and have extensive experience working in a team to tight deadlines.
I'm an Ilfracombe man and happy to stay in the North Devon area for the foreseeable future.
