PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am a hard working individual, who is able to work as part of a team or on my own.

During my career I have turned my hand to several roles, never afraid of trying something new, I believe this is due to my military training which has also helped me develop a keen eye for attention to detail and strong organisational skills. I have an excellent sickness record having only missed 2 days in the past 14 yrs.
