Bio
Rowyn Rawlinson
John is a very hard working person. He always brings his best and always achieves. He always keeps a level head under pressure and makes sure he does all he can to see the task through to a high standard. He’s an all round nice guy and people draw to him.

Working with John was a great part of my time at NCC, i found John to be a great team participant but also one who could work just as well on his own. John has great attention to detail and is methodical in his work. I would happily recommend John and would some day relish another opportunity to work alongside him.
