I began my apprenticeship as a Bricklayer Journeyman aged 15 in 1976. At the age of 18 when I was timed served in 1979 I had the opportunity to work in the then West Germany. I worked there from 1979 till 1981 and travelled extensively throughout the country at this time. This was a great learning experience as a recently time served journeyman.
Learning new areas of my trade was a real eye opener. The German way was completely alien to our ways of teaching in the UK but it was hard work just the same! Upon returning from Germany I settled down and married Sally in 1982 and soon after my son Martin was born (little did I know at this time he would follow the long family tradition into the craft of bricklaying.)
