I’m a second-year apprentice so you’ll likely see me holding the end of a qualified builders tape, ticking along with my own jobs or on the odd occasion working alone. All to further my knowledge in the trade.
What problems do you look after?
I look after what I can when I can, I listen and learn, that’s my job. keep one foot in front of the other, ask questions and assist where possible. Sometimes I tackle my own issues where possible, for example, you may find me doing trims on my own or learning more with/off of the boys. Constantly trying to improve.
Why do you like working here?
Working here is a pleasure. It’s a pleasure to work with people who are keen to assist me in furthering my own personal knowledge and skills in the trade. Let alone that all the boys are enjoyable to work with, all the boys assist in different ways with different things that they are knowledgeable in. It’s great being able to listen and learn different things from different people.
Interests outside of work:
I’ve been into martial arts in the past. I did taekwondo for just over nine years and achieved my second dahn black belt. After that, I spent about a year doing kickboxing and I multiple other martial art styles for shorter periods of time. Now I tend to be found listening to music, drawing, watching the odd documentaries or focusing on the odd little collectables I have.
