Kevin Freeth
Perth,WA
Summary
40+ years in the trade, mostly in New Zealand.
Moved to Perth 2008 to follow friends and family.
Currently a young at heart 58 year old with one son, 33 living in Perth, married with 2 children.
I remarried and also have a 4 year old daughter who is just a joy to have around.
I have covered almost all aspects of the trade over this time.
Residential, commercial, major banks, petrol stations, major food chains, schools, heritage work, just to name a few.
I was lucky enough during my apprenticeship and early years to learn so much about the trade, there were others that did the same thing everyday.
Quite capable of working alone and in a team.
Very punctual and have good work ethic.
Have most valid licences required for the trade.
