Read moreAlong with my colleague Shaun Bentley I am a relatively new recruit to GQA having joined in September 2019. My days currently involve learning how to become a trainer myself so that I can then go into our approved centres and work with their staff and help them deliver training.
A big advantage for me is that for many years I have been involved in fabrication, survey and installation of windows and doors, and this practical hands on background in the industry has given me great knowledge and experience. I am a part of the team which is developing and managing the Building Our Skills Academy building in Sheffield where people can receive hands on as well as theoretical training in all aspects of the industry, and this is really enjoyable.
Along with my colleagues I am on hand to answer any technical questions which come into the office and to the wider team. I am looking forward to getting fully up to speed with everything GQA and making a great contribution to the success of the business.
Biggest challenge so far is understanding all the information I am being given on a daily basis about the Education system

My own daughter who dreamed of being a World Champion Gymnast and through sheer guts and determination achieved it by the age of 14. My Father in Law who dreamed of owning and renovating vintage cars and despite the protests from his wife achieved it and went on to win many awards. This list goes on and on……………
