Why did you choose construction as a career?

I fell into construction by accident. I left school in 1975 and became a DJ for a couple of years before my father told me to get a proper job. I lived in the Mendip Hills, where the choice was typically to go into farming or quarrying. I lived near the large Torr Works quarry and, a couple of years later, I joined building products firm Forticrete, which was based there at the time.
