Professional Profile

I have 20 years experience working in the construction industry with a strong groundworks background. My main duties include Monoblocking, slabbing, kerbing, drainage, concrete finishing, fencing, turfing, operating excavators on site and any general groundwork duties.  I hold a 360 degree Excavator ticket for 10 tonne and above and also a ticket for a telehandler.  I achieved both of these tickets in 2009.  I am an ambitious individual who can offer a flexible, adaptable approach. I also hold a full UK driving licence.
