I was born in Oldham and now live in Mossley, Tameside with my wife Maria. We have raised two children and became grandparents in 2015. I’m a keen runner, having completed distances from 5k to ultra events, and a passionate landscape painter with several exhibitions inspired by the local scenery. I consider myself a trustworthy, creative Artworker with many years of hands-on experience and a dedicated work ethic. I’m self-motivated to deliver first-class results within strict targets, guidelines and deadlines. I’m polite, hardworking and always keen to learn and progress, and I strive to maintain a professional demeanor at all levels.
