Started my apprenticeship in joinery 16 yr old, Passed my nvq 2 & 3. On the tools doing site & bench joinery until 2007.
Closure of the joiners shop got me redeployed in the same company as Clerk of works. The shake up of possibly losing my job spurred me on to learn new skills instead of sitting back & doing the same old job. Now im on with social housing stock condition surveys, hhsrs surveys etc. Hoping to become a fully qualified building surveyor in the near future.
One thing for sure though, if it all goes t*ts up ill get the tools back out with no hesitation.
