I started working at Dixons Carphone (Currys) in September 2016 on their domestic appliance repair apprenticeship. Soon after completing this course there was an opportunity to apply for a second apprenticeship to gain Gas Safe qualifications & registration. I applied and was successful. This course ran alongside my role as a repair engineer. It also gave me a lot of exposure to the installation side of the business. After completing my gas training I resumed my role as a field repair engineer. I have also actively sought out additional training, in things like smart home control installations (nest thermostats, Ring video doorbells etc). I have also been trained to repair the businesses till systems in stores.In May 2024, I was promoted to my current position as the field service & repair manager for the Yorkshire region and I am currently enjoying the opportunity to expand my skills within leadership, training & development and people management, as well as transport management and compliance.
