Hi Guys,
Just come across this site which looks really insightful and interesting.
I studied and completed my C&G level 2 in plumbing about 8 years ago now with the plan to go into domestic plumbing. Having searched for work for a while I ended up getting a job as a plumbers mate for two years on the new hospital built in Tonbridge.
i learnt a lot on the job but industrial plumbing just isn't for me. I 100% want to focus on domestic properties and bathrooms, kitchens ect..however after the 2 years and not able to find a apprenticeship and because of financial reasons I moved into sales.
6 years on I hate sales with a passion and am desperate to find a apprenticeship or work back in plumbing. I really want to learn the trade and all the skills from a experienced professional. When your at college your given a blank canvas to fit everything and I need to go out into properties and see how everything's done in the real world of domestic plumbing. Ie for rip out to full refurbishment.
I am extremely determined to make this my career and I am now in a financial position to be a apprentice or to work for a lower wage. The important thing to me is to find someone who can take me under their wings and I ca learn this trade.
I'm 29, I have my own transport and most tools needed. I currently am based in Felpham West Sussex (near Bognor Regis/Chichester) and would appreciate any advice or contacts anyone might have who might consider taking me on.
However I am also in a position where I could work from Torquay/ Devon which I would prefer as I have family down there and could relocate very quickly and would do so happily for the chance to learn this trade properly.
many thanks
Craig
