About
I am a very driven individual with an excellent work ethic.
Since the age of 16, I have worked for an expanding greenhouse company; Woodpecker Joinery. I have spent my summers in both the workshop and on site as a labourer, gaining much knowledge of bespoke products and manufacturing with timber. I have worked on all aspects of the the greenhouses, and along the way I have become accustomed to using a range of machinery and materials.
Knowing my interest for design, the MD gave me the opportunity to lead the technical department during a 12-month work placement. Since then the company has grown to such an extent I was offered a full-time position once my university studies were complete.
Woodpecker has given me the chance to showcase my technical skills acquired at university and my goal is to use my knowledge of design to streamline the design and manufacturing process.

Work ExperienceL'ArtothequeJul 2007 - Jul 2007During the summer of 2007, I participated in a French work experience trip; where I worked for an art dealer in Limoges for 10 days. It was a hands-on placement whereby I helped staff organise and erect small exhibitions. I was interacting with colleagues in French thus I consider that this experience improved my general communication skills.
