5. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
William Hayes Ltd, 2006 to present day. (Packaging distribution), This has
been a summer job
My responsibilities included dealing with GOODS IN & GOODS OUT, and
ensuring general up keep of the warehouse. More recently I was in-
volved in restructuring and reorganising the floor plan of the ware-
house. With my design skills I have helped to design brochures, busi-
ness cards and at the moment designing the new van liveries.
Exploria Ltd. 2013-2015 (VW Transporter Conversion)
In my placement year at university I worked for Exploria Ltd. The com-
pany converted VW Transporter vans to bespoke camper vans for the
commercial and leisure industries. Whilst on placement I design and
produced the graphics used in their company brochure also designed a
new seat cover.
From the age of 6 years old, I was a member Scout movement, through which I
completed my Duke of Edinburgh award, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Which I received
at St James Palace in 2011. The D of E taught me how to develop and work as an
individual and in a team making on the spot decisions, during our expedition. The
process has had a positive effect on myself confidence and social life. The skills I
learnt and the experience as a whole is something I can take with me into future
ventures.
In my spare time I several interest. My fathers passion for cycling means that I
regularly cycle with him. I also was a member of a local mountain bike club but
University put this on hold. Also I have skied from an early age and also have now
learned to snowboard and still go with friends and on family holidays, and it is
something I look forward to every year. I took up canoeing as part of my D of E and
enjoyed the team aspect of the sport.
Currently I am trying to broaden my design skill set by illustration tutorials on the
internet.

6. Mountain Rescue ATVQuick Response Vehicle

8. Mountian Rescue
ATVThe Land Rover Defender according to press reports
is coming to the end of production. This has been one
of the main vehicles used by many rescue services
including the Mountain Rescue Organisation. To replace
any rescue vehicle is costly and to look for an alter-
native to the Land Rover Defender a tried and tested
unit is a difficult task. However, the answer may be
with another tried and tested unit. The All Terrain
Vehicle based on an Honda Forman used by those in the
forestry and farming industries. The concept would be
for a quick response unit which can carry specialist
equipment quickly where the normal 4 Wheel drives
cannot access and quicker than on foot.

and decrease in size for
city driving.

customer can see what van
would look like.
