Introduction: Since leaving school I have been interested in any mechanics and anything to do with them .I worked up from an apprentice in a motor garage to gaining my qualifications in heavy plant through to running very busy workshops nationwide .Since working for myself I appreciate the meaning of costs and that they must be kept down but competitive.

Achievements:During my time at Birmingham airport I managed to motivate 6 members of staff and get 22 HGV vehicles inspected and back on line .This also generated further work. Also by sitting down with a very difficult customer who had issues with the company, I managed to calm the situation and win a service/repair contract.

Interests : I enjoy playing and watching rugby and also cooking for friends and family.
