    Hi there,

    I am looking to start a career in boat building but am having difficulty finding a company. Could someone give me a bit of guidance as to where to look or any companies that are looking for an apprentice? Would be happy to do a trial period to show what I can do and how keen I am.

    I have two and a half years joinery experience and am currently studying architecture at university. I am looking for work In Australia,New Zealand, UK area.

    Thanks
    John
