When I got back from my sailing trip I desparately needed a job and a friend of mine worked in Sharpe & Fisher, he gave me the number of the boss and I called him, told him I was pretty good with locks so he gav me a job in the Heavy & Timber department selling wood and bricks, not a lock in sight.
Met a bloke who was to become one of my best friends called Chris Dawson, he taught me about the job and eventually became my best man at my first wedding.
I didn’t stay long at this job even though I enjoyed it the job didn’t pay much and another friend of mine worked for an Air Conditioning company that were recruiting and they paid loads more than I was on so I got myself an interview, got the job and left my builders merchant career behind me.
