About Me
In my spare time I enjoy travelling, camping, the great outdoors, fixing/makings things, family time and golf. Although my biggest passion is my job and I regularly do a 70+ 5 day week.
I am an ASME 9 6G coded pipe welder and fabricator. I offer a wide range of skills to which I perform to the highest quality. I love my job, take great pride in what I do and am always looking for a challenge.
I am currently working a food and butter oil processing factory in Cheshire and fulfill a wide ranges of responsibilities from new installs, maintenance, breakdowns, fabrications and improvements to both product lines and service lines.
I am pleased to say since I have been contracting at this site I have vastly improved production and efficiency of the plant.
