Its my pleasure to be able to present my CV to you and help to promote both your companies and my interests.

How can we do this?

I can benefit your company by increasing your plant availability and decreasing your plant running costs or alternatively improving your alternate fuel fleet or development program. The end result is your company makes more profit and I get paid to do what I like doing.

Now surely this has got to be good for both of us.

Are you sceptical that I can achieve this?

It is really quite simple. I have a basic set of rules:

1. I turn up to work every day, where humanly possible.


2. I am honest and hardworking.


3. I am always sober when at work.


4. I will put in a full days work.


5. I use my many years of experience in maintaining plant to your advantage. In other words I know what makes the cogs turn and I know what stops them turning, whether it is capital plant or automotive plant regardless of fuel type.


6. I use my many years of experience in working with; mechanics, fitters, and welders to build a loyal team focussed on maintaining your fleet or plant in top condition whether it runs on; Petrol, LPG or CNG .


7. I like to keep up with the current trends and technology and use them to your advantage.

So, What is the next Step:

Well you can read on through all the boring information below or you can contact me right away anytime at your convenience to discuss how we might go about improving your company's maintenance or fleet program.
