Trained as a truck mechanic, left that to become a despatch rider, drove a van, drove a truck, drove a very big truck, drove a very big truck with a crane on it. Someone found out I could read or write so they stuck me in the transport office, consigned goods to Ireland, became dangerous goods safety advisor, implemented Quality, Safety, Health and Environmenal systems, then jumped ship and went to work in a very different place.
