When I was 19 I was made redundant, I hated not working so I applied for every job under the sun and accepted the 1st one regardless...... I ended up as a trainee Sparky and 3 years later qualified, I was working for Unilever in Sharnbrook beds. They had a great idea to make all the maintenance staff redundant and replace with contractors and as the youngest and least qualified I ended up job less again.
I then contracted for 6 months until I got to work for a transport company fault finding on lorries, hated the job and took the training to drive the lorry instead of work on it, it was better paid at the time.
I took the PSV test at the same time as it was there to do so why not!! Then got the hazardous chemical license and did petrol delivery work did that until I went coach driving, for a change rather than anything else, mainly around Europe and lived in Belgium for a couple of years "on the buses" so to speak.
Moved back to the UK 9 years ago, and started our own company following a long love of body art and not wanting to work for anyone else what better than a tattoo studio, we now employ 4 artists and have one of the biggest studios in Bedfordshire. We have never looked back!! Here I am today loving my work, looking to semi retire in the next 2 to 3 years.

totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"
