Fire Protection/ Industrial Intumescent Paint Spraying (Managing Director)

At the age of 16 I was advised by my old man that Fireprotection was a good trade to start work in, so I enrolled in college for Paint Spraying and studied liquids and chemicals used in paint mix, qualified and sub-contracted to other firms.
I then set my own business up whilst taking on workers and training young lads up on schemes etc....
I am now reeping the rewards for my risk taking decisions and I'm glad I chose the path I have.

Yep, I'm enjoying the company owner lifestyle I like doing hands on work though, keeps me busy and fit so I take the odd conversion job on or get on the tools if it doesn't upset anyones prices.
