My wife and I were brought up here, and I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise so that we can return to our roots and settle down near our families. The thing that I’m most excited about is being able to contribute to the local communities that I grew up, which are very close to my heart. I’m looking forward to furthering my career with Barratt, it is a fantastic company to work for and I will strive to uphold the successful sales that have been achieved this past year.”
