I have worked in the construction industry for nearly all of my life, making my way from labourer to management in the same roofing company for nearly 30 years. I believe this prooves my loyal and dedicated character. Following my move to Spain, I adapted to new work methods and a different culture and became the only English employee on contract in the small mountain town in which we live. I am strong, energetic and determined to succeed at all that I am required to do.
