Last post from me before I close this page down😀
Life has a funny way of changing your plans.
If you’d asked me a year ago where I’d see myself today, I would have said I’d still be on the tools. Construction has been my life for the last 22 years. It’s all I’ve ever really known, and I’m incredibly proud of everything I’ve built and everyone I’ve worked with along the way.
But sometimes life makes the decision for you.
My neck injury has been one of the toughest challenges I’ve faced. Spending months in and out of work, followed by five weeks off to recover, gave me something I haven’t had in years… time. Time to think, to heal, and to decide what the future should look like.
I could have carried on and hoped my neck would hold out, but deep down I knew that every heavy lift, every awkward job and every long day was bringing me closer to a point where I might not be able to work at all.
So, with a mixture of excitement, nerves and a little sadness, I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my life.
I’ve officially stepped away from construction.
On Monday, I start a completely new chapter after investing in my own DPD franchise.
It’s a huge leap into the unknown, but one I’m genuinely excited about. I’ll still be working hard, still building something for my family, just in a very different way.
To everyone who has supported my carpentry business over the last 22 years, trusted me with your homes, recommended me to others, or simply encouraged me along the way—thank you. I’ll always be grateful.
Who knows where this new journey will lead? Maybe it’ll be the best decision I’ve ever made, maybe it’ll come with its own challenges. Either way, I’ll give it everything I’ve got.
Here’s to new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and proving that it’s never too late to start again.
Monday can’t come soon enough. ❤️
Thank you!
