Mark Swindells

One of main interests is joinery, this came about from when I moved into a new house and there was work that needed doing, which I decided to attempt myself.

I enjoy fixing and mending things, taking things apart and putting them back together again as a way of looking at how things work. In the past I have even managed to take computers apart and rebuild them.

I own two mopeds and enjoy working on them and doing any mechanical jobs that may need doing.

A career in construction is something I have an interest in and have applied for an apprenticeship.

In the future I would like to pursue a career in law, possibly as a solicitor, my aunty's a police sargeant and reading some of the books she owns, encouraged me to look into this as a possible career.

Buying and selling auto parts is another interest of mine and in the past I have made profits from this, which I have invested in new tools.

I have recently completed a construction course, where I learned joinery, plastering, decorating and plumbing. I found the course quite easy as it was often things I'd done before.
