Lee Boswell

After languishing in retail management, I started an open university degree in social sciences. The degree I believe has enabled me to venture into new areas of profession. It is my ambition to tap into my creative passion and be of service to a reputable company with strong values and commendable ethics. In the past I've been a leader, I have worked as part of a team and I'm currently a postman who serves the community. Personally, I have done a lot of travelling and played many sports. I'm a musician and played festivals and gigs and feel very comfotable in front of audiences. 

I have balanced but strong views on the environment and social issues. My degree, has given me a gateway these important elements of society. One of my favourite things to do is to explore different viewpoints on these critical flashpoints in our environment. 

Over the course of my working life, I have found it important to bring passion and commitment to my job. I would say that I bring a positive energy to working relations and excel when part of a team. 

Bringing an approachable, yet professional personality is something I have worked on and finessed to the point that I feel very complete in my role. 

Having a creative side helps me solve problems in the workplace, always searching for the solution to the problem
