Most memorable or unusual jobs to date
“Many, many memorable projects some of which I have built by myself. Travelling to and from work, from Darlington to Consett where our offices are, I pass several houses, buildings and structures with bricks, stone and concrete I have laid myself. Then there are the many sites I have been financially responsible for and some I have managed scattered all over the region and beyond to as far afield as Wick in Northern Scotland.”
