Summary
I joined the British Army Nov 1993 and served until Oct 2023. I have been away on many operations around the world. I reached the rank of Staff Sergeant (SSgt).
After leaving the army, I was offered a job with Wyvern Cargo Ltd where I would be class 2 driving. The job was delivering/collect pallets from around the local area and further afield to London, Wales and the West country.
As of currently, I am working for Stericycle collecting Clinical Waste from from local areas.
