The ‘zinc works’ is in my family, my grandfather worked here, my uncle and my dad. When I left school without a clue on what I wanted to do dad told me I should learn a trade. I was fortunate enough to be taken on as an apprentice mechanical fitter and I have never looked back. This site has given me job security and allowed me to set myself up in life, I have been able to buy my own house and my V8. I have a job that I enjoy, a good skill set and there is plenty of opportunity to further develop my career.
