Summary

I an a highly motivated, responsible, hard working Joiner.

For over 25 years I have worked in the double glazing industry and have an excellent reputation for delivering a high standard of workmanship.

I started out as a young apprentice and when i joined Jones Joinery I became a site foreman for whom i had various contracts including window and door fittings for all Liverpool housing Associations.

I am at my best in this trade as i see every job as a personal statement of my ability. I have excellent skills as a team player, working on my own or developing and inspiring new starters to the trade.

I deliver excellent customer service, as standard, as i believe that this is what generates the work that we do.

I am seeking a position, still within this industry, as i have so much pride in what i do but i am also happy to take on other challenges and new direction should the opportunity occur.
