Been reading posts on the forum for some time, had to join to be able to continue. Hope to contribute when possible. Have always been self employed and had a hand loosely involved in plumbing for about 20 years. over recent years have been pursuing various qualifications at college and other places, whilst doing occasional work with different plumber/gas fitters. I am currently qualified to city and guilds and NVQ level 2 with the plumbing.
