Gordon says:
Having been a professional driver for over 40 years
I found myself being made redundant in August 2020. I thereafter
decided to change course and retrain my skill-set to become a Barber which
had been an ambition of mine. With the help of East Ayrshire
Works and Work Coach Sheila McFadyean, I enrolled at the
Scottish Barber School in Glasgow and successfully completed an SVQ Level
2 in Gents Barbering. I now work in a busy family run
business called “Station Barbers” in Bishopton. Sheila guided
me through the entire process and constantly kept in touch to check I was
achieving my goals. I cannot thank her enough for helping me through
this difficult time in the twilight years of my work life.
