Channel 4: Why do you want to work in the building trade?
Hannah: To be active and not stuck in an office. And to be
able to build something and see the finished product in the end would
be very rewarding.
Channel 4: Why should you be on Bricking It?
Hannah: I am loud, a laugh-a-minute kind of girl who also has a professional side when it comes to working. I love meeting new people, having the chance to learn new skills and am not camera shy.
I am a fun person, would make good TV and seriously have an interest in the what the programme has to offer.
Channel 4: Have you ever worked in the building industry before?
Hannah: Apart from watching Bob the Builder! Seriously, I have
always watched my dad around the house trying to do various jobs and
a lot of my friend's went into the building trade from school. But
my experience runs as far as making towers out of wooden bricks when
I was younger.
Channel 4: What are you hoping to achieve from Bricking It?
Hannah: I hope to get an apprenticeship in plumbing. However,
the experience of working on a real building site is something I'll
take away as well as being part of a good team.
Channel 4: Is it harder than you expected?
Hannah: The experience has certainly been harder than expected.
I thought the work would be physically demanding. However, it has
been mentally more demanding with the long hours, being told work
is not good enough etc.
Channel 4: Do you think Bricking It is helping you to work
with other people?
Hannah: Everyone is different on this project so it has certainly
helped me work with others, learning how everyone works and what makes
them tick. I have been lucky to not only work with others but as a
leader of the team, learning how to get the best out of my team.
Channel 4: Can you name two things you personally contribute
to the team?
Hannah: Only two...?! I'm a placid pacifist, which has been
needed at various times during the project. For example, during Soaps'
and Gregory's arguments.
Channel 4: What have you learnt from Bricking It so far?
Hannah: I have learned hands-on skills that I had lost from
doing just academic studies previously. My common sense has improved
greatly and is much needed! I am learning a practical trade, which
is what I want to do. I have also learned good communication skills.
Channel 4: What do you think you will do after Bricking It?
Hannah:
a) Get the flat finished on time
b) Get my plumbing apprenticeship
c) Become qualified and continue working
d) Hopefully own my own business some day
e) Do a part-time degree, relevant to my career - e.g. management.
Channel 4: And finally...
Hannah: I don't know really what else to say. This could be
the opportunity I am looking for to help me realise what I want to
do with my life.
