I graduated from North Notts College and then moved on to do my apprenticeship at a placement in Retford, Nottinghamshire. The garage I worked out of specialized in Vauxhall repairs and servicing. I learned quite a bit while working there but also felt the need to branch out and work elsewhere. I then began working at a Halford's garage before moving again to work at a Stoneacre Ford garage. I then began mobile work with Hometune where I stayed for about 10 years. I then decided to move back to garage work at an independent garage in Doncaster. After several years there I elected to work mobile again and have been doing so since.
