Platinum Emergency Services

I left the Army after serving many of years in 2003 after joining the services in 1994 as a Junior Marine. I trained and served with both the Royal Marines and the Army and had the honour to serve my country and work alongside many stellar people who have taught and inspired me with a thirst for learning and passion to make a difference alongside a can-do attitude.

Unfortunately, due to an accident in 2000, I had to leave my military career. Being a soldier was always my passion in life and I experienced a period of being lost. I yearned to find another career where what I did count towards something and gave me a sense of achievement alongside further opportunities to help people. Some of my childhood was spent alongside my siblings and our father at his work. Our father spent his entire life with his own siblings running a small family kitchen, bedroom and bathroom company. From the age of 6, I watched and learned from various tradesmen their crafts, which gave me the knowledge and enabled me to work with my heart and hands. I was fortunate enough soon after discharge from the Army to secure a position within a well-renowned construction company. It turned out to be a life-changing move. I zipped up and down the country covering emergency requests for big companies for all plumbing & heating and carpentry requests, I absolutely loved it, working as a team under pressure to deliver a first-class service. A job that really mattered had landed at my feet. Unfortunately, this did not last. Again struck with misfortune, a huge company ceased trading after a century in the service sector. I once again found myself, lost without a career, direction or purpose.
