At the age of 21 i was promoted to charge hand. A lot of my time at the public works was spent working along side one foreman in particular Ronnie Whitehead. I was on site from day one and this is where i picked up a lot of my knowledge i have today . i would mark out the sites with Ronnie and a engineer. Then i would work with all tradesmen until joinery work was required.
