In my 40 years of being self employed I coordinated employees and sub trades (water proofing, electrical works, excavators, tiling and carpentry work) to complete projects to extremely high standards.
In 2012 I moved to Vanuatu and applied to VIPA for a business licence which I received. In the four years that my business ran in Vanuatu I trained locals in basic plumbing skills to work under my supervision.
I am an active member of Rotary and have been for over 25 years in Australia and Vanuatu. I was introduced to Vanuatu through Rotary projects on the Island of Tanna working on the replacement roof for Lenakel hospital and working at many schools and health clinics across the island. I have rudimentary understanding of Bislama which allows me to communicate with N-vans.
