NZQA qualified automotive spray painter, with international experience working in New
Zealand, Australia (for the Holden Racing Car Team as their Paint Technician) and London.
I have a keen eye for detail, varied experience in all aspects of the automotive industry, as a
panel beater, paint technician, managing a bodyshop and customer care. Coupled with the
personal pride I take in each job, I am looking to develop existing skills and meet new
challenges. After working in a Kitemark P.A.S 125 accredited repair centre working to the
highest standards in London i developed a passion in managing people and working with
them to achieve company and personal goals. Currently have 4 years experience working
with water based products and would be an asset to any company looking to bring in such
products.
