Mike's journey in the construction industry began very early in life, all the way back to his first day of school where he declared to his parents that he did not need to go to school as he was just going to go and be a builder like his big brother. After not getting his way and having to undergo schooling an interest in technical drawing was soon developed and the rest is history.
That passion/spark for the job is still unaltered to this day.
And here we are...
