    A temporary position through Turner-Fox Recruitment. Processing technical reports, a few quotations and whatever else needs doing at anytime. I have learnt a lot about lighting systems and found it a quite stimulating experience. Lovely people and amazing technology. I am quite liking the whole temping thing. It's keeping me busy while I look for a better fitting opportunity. However, the DIY is starting to suffer.
