PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCED

Temporary Christmas Staff, Argos Stores, Monks Cross, York October 2010 - April 2011 I took a temporary position with the Argos team to assist them with the additional work load experienced at Christmas. My responsibilities were spread around the store, mostly helping with Customer Services processing returns and other queries. My contract was due to nish at the beginning of February, however I was kept on until April, when a number of both temporary and permanent staff were lost from the store. Project DJ, York 2008 - Present In summer 2009, I was awarded the fantastic experience of a 4 week expedition to Africa, during which we assisted in and renovated a rural school, along with spending some time trekking and later climbing Mount Meru. To raise the funds for the trip, we were encouraged to come up with eccentric and exciting ways of raising over 4000 in just over 12 months. My rst plan was to put on an end of year Disco for the rst and second years in my School. Having made over 700 in one night, and saving cost by doing the DJing Myself, I realised the potential for a friendly high quality DJ service. From this Project DJ was born, now featuring two sets of equipment totaling in excess of 4000, Project DJ has taken over 2000 in the last year, performing at Charters, Weddings and other events. Of course the cost of running a car at university is too high so I was unable to continue this in Glasgow. Web Design Contracts 2010 - Present I have also developed a number of websites for different companies in Yorkshire, some of which I now maintain. Examples of these are www.TentedWardrobes.co.uk and www.TheShedColdHarbour.co.uk. I also developed a website for Project DJ, www.Project-DJ.co.uk however this is no longer maintained.

EXTRA ACTIVITIES
Whilst not at university, I pursue a passion for media, producing graphics for university events, along with enjoying Music and Film. I am also a keen water skier, spending three to four weeks and a few weekends a year on Loch Lomond with my family. I attempt to play the Guitar although this is usually unsuccessfully and I am a member of the Derwent Lions group back in york, fund raising for local and international charities.
