Work in scaffolding .

Hello all,

I would like to get advice on getting to work in scaffolding. I am 29 yrs old, physically fit and enjoy working out doors. I am ex forces and have been working as a deckhand on a boat since.
Any feed back will be helpful thanks.

Sounds like your keen mate hope you get something.

Just ring round all the local companies or even better go into the yard be prepared to put up with some arse-holes that think they are the bees knees though.

Dont work for **** all either as some companies will try and pay you next to nothing.
