Starting as young as 12 years old, Ryan helped out at his stepdad’s building company, learning the tricks of the trade from a young age. As he got older, he continued to support the business by carrying out odd jobs alongside the tradesmen in-between his A Levels.

After 18 months and a move back to Cardiff, Ryan began a 5 year career with City Electrical Supplies (CEF), supporting electricians in the South West region. Joining as a van driver and progressing to Branch Manager, Ryan was the youngest Branch Manager within the South Wales Group. A fantastic achievement!
