After a long career in the mechanical trade and ended with 24 years running my own business I feel I’ve achieved everything I possibly could have from leaving school with no qualifications. I’ve worked hard to be where I am
The business was started with a past work colleague. It was a big step for us as we had to borrow a lot of money to start an MOT, servicing and repair garage from an empty unit. long hours managed to build a good customer base through trust and hard work. In 2011 I bought out my partner when he moved to an offshore job and ran the garage until 2024 when I sold a still growing business to one of my employees.
Carried out servicing and maintenance on Elgin depot’s bus fleet also covering breakdowns
Carried out all types of vehicle maintenance including servicing, MOTs, repairs and welding
Carried out all repairs and servicing on customer and sales cars
I joined the RAF at 16, after basic training I went on to start my training as a mechanic in South Wales from there I worked in various stations over the country inc a three year post in the Netherlands at the nato base Afcent. I finished at Lossiemouth after nearly 14 years service
