Started sparking at 13 for my brother in law during the school holidays. I never went back to school after year 9 and told the local authority I was being home educated but was actually grafting on building sites. Took my 16th edition at 16 and passed it with 100% mark, started my apprenticeship, still working for my brother in law. Final year I jumped onto a bigger company doing newbuild tower blocks in London and become a QS within a year which didn't go down to well with some of the older sparks. Jumped onto a mechanical and electrical company as a QS/supervisor/on the tools foreman. Went back to work with brother in law as he was struggling after taking a knock and personal issues, within a year he went into liquidation. I took some of his contacts and started up, Built the company up to 8 sparks. I went into partnership with another sparks/mate and we vary between 8 and 15 sparks. We are now going into the mechanical side of things so are now an M&E company. I had my first child at 16, 2nd at 18 and 3rd at 24. My Mrs is in her final few months of uni becoming a nurse. I own my house and another in Canterbury which is a HMO. I'm still a young pup compared to many on here
