Hi Gents,

I thought id tell you a bit about myself.

I started my career at 17 working as a lowly apprentice with a one man band in the domestic/commercial sector. until he unfortunately decided to head back to northern ireland. I then spent the rest of my time working for a building maintenance company who specialised in School and college maintenance, building IT suites.

Unfortunately the economic downturn hit just as i came out of my time and my employer couldnt afford to pay me any more than an apprentice wage so i had to look elswhere. Fortunately a friend of my dads was a mechanical engineer in an automated distribution center and he got me a job as a maintenance technician.

I stayed there for a further 4 years before getting a job at my current place as an electrical engineer. ive only been here for 6 months and they have offered to send me to university to do my degree.

There you have it, my professional life in a nutshell :stooge_curly:
