After being made redundant due to company going into administration I remained unemployed for approximately 6 months. Opportunity arose for me to enter into self employment in the field of home energy assessments whereby homeowners / tenants alike could receive free home insulation through various programs available in the UK. All my work was self generated and I established working contracts with local businesses specifically in the lettings industry. The field of business is forever and parameters of various schemes are forever changing and I feel I need a more secure work position for both my family and I.
