Richard
Assembly Operative
What do you do at Three Point?
I assemble display units, run the vacuum forming machine and work in the warehouse.
When did you join the Three Point Team?
I have worked at Three Point since October in 2023.
What’s the best thing about working at Three Point?
Everybody is so friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the variety of work.
Tell us something about you that nobody at work knows?
My first job was delivering fresh vegetable boxes door to door.
Who inspires you and why?
Guitarists like Zakk Wylde and Jared James Nichols. I’m improving my guitar playing using Jared James Nichols online lessons. I’ve seen him around 5 times now and even got to hold his 1952 guitar at an NEC event.
What kind of music do you like?
Heavy rock and blues. I go to as many live gigs as I can.
Can you speak any languages?
No. I have never travelled abroad, there are so many lovely places to visit in the UK.
Best place you’ve ever been on holiday and why?
My favourite place is Yorkshire. This year my family and I went to Whitby and travelled through the moors and valleys. It was so quiet and peaceful, we didn’t see a soul except a ranger. Next will be Windermere and then I’m planning to visit Scotland, probably to cycle around Fort William.
What was your favourite subject at school?
Sport and Maths. I have always been interested in sport and at school I was really into running. I found I was good at Maths so found it enjoyable. My sons have taken after me and have excelled at Maths too.
What 3 items would you take with you to a deserted island and why?
The first one is easy – my guitar. Then my bike and my family. Though perhaps I should swap one of those for some food!
