Profile
I am a punctual, hard-working, reliable and trustworthy electrician. Having been part of the British Army (Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers) I have been trained and have experience in delivering high quality work in demanding situations and environments. My time in the forces has instilled a high level of discipline in my approach to work.

I work well as part of a team, but as a self-starter can also produce great work alone. I strive to reflect well on the company I work for by ensuring that I am well presented, enthusiastic and willing to learn.
