To whom it may concern, I have known Andrew for approximately two years in which that time he has worked in final drive section during his apprenticeship and was invited back to work as a fresh tradesman. His tasks varied from stripping truck wheel groups to assembly of brakes and planetarys. Andrew is of pleasant nature who is always willing to help to achieve his best as well as keeping in minds the sections needs. I would personally recommend Andrew to any employer who is thinking of employing him as a tradesman. I wish Andrew well as I believe he has the potential to for fill any goal he sets.
