When I left school, I joined JB Corrie and gained valuable experience with lead fence installers. We fitted all types of fencing, and I travelled all over the country to complete work.

In 1995, I was one of the first fence installers to gain a National Vocational Qualification Level 2. In July 1997, I took the opportunity to work in the company’s sales office, as an estimator. Since then, I have developed expertise in telephone and face-to-face sales, as well as proficiency in estimating, which is computer-based. I was promoted to sales administrator in 1999, then to sales manager in 2001.

My objective now is to continue to develop my skills, and progress "onwards and upwards" within the company.
