What’s one thing that surprised you about working here? The distance the vans and routes travel on a daily basis.
What energises you at work?
I’ve always enjoyed driving having worked in the Automotive Industry all my adult working life until l joined Heritage.

Meeting different people every day including customers and general members of the public and getting to know customers and build that relationship, so you both know what works and the customers’ requirements.

I’ve had motorbikes since l was 8 years old so coming home and either tinkering in my workshop on my bikes or riding them.
