The type of projects I worked on as a Joiner were very varied and included
high quality housing, industrial units, commercial premises and civil
engineering contracts. The experience gained from these projects led to
my interest and I believe the practical "hands on" experience
I gained during that period would be beneficial to a potential employer.
