Dan Wright
Dan is a lively, bubbly and quirky unique character from Bath Spa. He has lived in care for most of his life, being placed with foster parents from the age of six. He moved out of his foster parents' home a few months ago and now lives in a council flat in Bath. Dan is a mature young man with a fun-loving side looking for his second chance at gaining an apprenticeship and learning a trade. Dan previously dropped out of a Painting and Decorating apprenticeship and has since tried to get back into it to no avail. He sees the opportunity offered to him through Bricking It as his second, and only, chance of learning a trade.
