Additional Information

Before becoming a builder I studied Electro-technology with the aim of becoming an electrician. After a period of time I soon came to the realization that I was becoming more interested in building itself, reinforcing the exposure I have also received from other members of my extended family who are also in the building industry. As such, I soon sought out and attained an apprenticeship as a builder and have never looked back.
