Summary

Having ran a successful Electrical Contracting company for a number of years I was responsible for everything from pricing/quoting jobs to installation of a varied and challenging array of work and testing/commissioning those projects. With a professional attitude I maintained and built working relationships with all clients. All the aforementioned was only possible due to the high quality training I gained during my apprenticeship and further refining of my skills at previous employment. Overall I am a highly skilled individual who works hard to be the best.
