I started out in my working life with no qualifications, no future, and no hope. Thrown out of school at 15. I went to work in factories during the winter and building sites during the summer, to work on my tan. This caused much up set to my father, whose generation didn’t change jobs. Well not like this.

In the Construction trade I started of as a labourer, cleaning out toilets. I worked my way by learning various building skills, like Bricklaying, Concreting and Scaffolding. I finished up a Roofing Sub-Contractor. I worked 2 days per week and 4 days in Barnfield College. I finally went back into        Education age 31.
