I started my apprenticeship after doing a level 2 pluming course in college so I could carry on to complete my pluming heating and renewable level 3, my unvented hot water and also complete my gas qual where I have gained my CCN1 CENWAT CPA1.

Some skills I’ve gained are

• Performed regular maintenance on gas systems for optimal performance.
• Maintained full compliance with health and safety standards by conducting regular risk assessments.
• Followed strict documentation procedures during project execution-crucial for traceability and future reference.
• Repaired malfunctioning gas systems, ensuring minimal disruption to clients' operations.
• Completed complex gas installation projects, demonstrating excellent problem-solving skills.
• Diagnosed faults in gas appliances accurately to ensure swift resolution.
• Completed gas safety paperwork in line with Gas Safe and company procedures.

After leaving The Lily Bar and Grill due to closure I worked in Edwards of Conwy packaging their food products on a production line. I worked here for a little while before finding an apprenticeship to pursue my career.

• Participated in team meetings contributing ideas for continuous improvement initiatives.
• Maintained safe work environment by following safety procedures.
• Met tight deadlines through fast-paced work whilst maintaining attention to detail.

I started my first job at the age of 15 as a kitchen porter in a busy kitchen, where I quickly moved on to learning and assisting with the chefs on cooking and preparing meals, where I ended up being head chef towards the end of my time at The Lily bar and grill. Some skills I gained over my time are

• Maintained hygiene standards in the kitchen area, ensuring food safety regulations compliance.
• Collaborated with other kitchen staff, fostering a team-oriented environment.
• Ensured freshness and quality of ingredients, maintaining culinary standards.
