unfortunate closure of the company, I am now seeking full time employment in a role that will embrace the skil ls

different jobs on the machines on a daily basis, maintenance of the machinery and IT skills on and off the

and player, willing to take on any role. I also have an exemplary time keeping record and a faultless employment

record.
