Matthew Robertson

I have recently just moved back to the UK to my hometown in stranraer after a year of living in Dubai in the UAE. I worked as a personal trainer in the Warehouse gym which is the most premium gym brand in the UAE. Since moving back I have started back at Gentex Corporation which is a helmet factory, I previously worked here for 4 years prior to moving abroad. I have picked up many skills as I excel working as part of a team or working alone using my initiative to complete tasks. I’m experienced in using a wide variety of tools and machinery as well as computers and electronic equipment due to being able to do almost any job in the factory. I’m an effective communicator and and always hold myself and my work to very high standards. In my own time I enjoy to go to the gym and I also play football for stranraer reserves where I train twice a week and play on the weekend.

My professional experience has a wide variety. I started off working in a local italian restaurant washing dishes before moving to making the starters and sweets. Next I worked at the Lactalis which is a cheese factory where I gained valuable experience working with machines and shift work. Then I moved onto work at Tesco which helped me to learn to work in a fast paced environment and engage with customers and help them with their demands and needs. After that I moved to Gentex where I remained for 4 years where it helped me to become a valued member of staff as I would end up running an important line in the factory, lastly when moving to the UAE i gained my personal training qualification and started a job which was something that I was passionate about and helped to further my communication ability and interaction skills.
