Whilst still running my own business I became heavily involved in the seasonal showcasing of miniature army tanks. My mechanical, hydraulic and fabricating expertise was used for the planned and reactive maintenance of a fleet of tanks that were based in East Yorkshire and travelled to multiple events across the UK. Out of season logistical/risk assessment and HR planning was key to ensuring a full schedule of events for staff and machinery to attend. We regularly attended events hosted by the Army/Navy/RAC Rally/National Scouts and Private schools. The highlight being contracted to a film company for a short promotional film for Google. We later designed and manufactured our own fleet of tanks that we sold to customers based in the UK & USA. The company was dissolved and sold in 2022.

From age 13, I was taught the values of hard work and responsibility on the family farm which I displayed in an increasing format outside of school holidays. This culminated in me taking a lead role during summer harvests due to ill health within the family.Pursuing a career in engineering was a natural progression and during this time, I obtained a BTEC National Diploma in Engineering and worked for local engineering companies where I was additionally utilized as a sales demonstrator on new machinery. My main duties included planned and reactive maintenance of mechanical equipment including hydraulics and fabrication. This career enabled me to travel to many areas of the Yorkshire region where I maintained and grew valuable customer relationships. I was adept at problem solving and quickly gained a reputation for having a solid product knowledge and the ability to demonstrate this during unsociable hours and in very demanding conditions. I often worked alone and in time sensitive environments. A desire to experience more in life led to me back packing and working around the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe for six months.
