Summary
Detail oriented painter and decorator who has vast experience and exposure in the construction and painting industry, from residential, commercial and industrial projects have done them all on time and with customer satisfaction. Over the years I have learnt that no project is neither too big nor too small but each unique project deserves full attention to detail. Maintaining good relations with customers is the key to growth and sustainability, therefore I am seeking a position to be part of your painting family to add value to your organisation. With my other skills in tiling, insulation, shop fitting and carpentry I am very positive that I will be a valuable resource.
