Introduction... newbie

[Leroy Merlin]

Afternoon all, just wanted to say hello.

Preston based and new to the industry after deciding on a career change.

Currently working on my 2365 (yep, one of the pay now and get certificates in 9 months ones) I'm hoping that I can get a foot in the door and then graft my way to full qualification over time.

Not sure if I should be contacting an agency to get experience or knocking on site doors... any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

L
