- Three words that sum up the people in your team? Trustworthy, Helpful and Determined.
- What’s been one of your proudest moments working at Sytner? My proudest moment working at Sytner has to be reaching the finals of the Sytner Elite Technician competition!
- How have you developed since working for Sytner? I started as an Apprentice technician which was a 3 year programme. I then went on to complete my Maintenance Technician Qualification and I’m now onto the final training to become a Systems Technician with my specialisation being in powertrain.
