Maintenance Manager

Airan McAuley

I am a passionate and motivated Maintenance Manager. In 2008 I started as a maintenance assistant in the care industry and have not stopped trying to better myself and to become more knowledgeable. My drive comes from knowing that I am making a difference to residents lives, and I am so pleased to continue this at Parklands Manor. I have always had a keen eye for repairs and understanding how things work from a young age, my mother loves to remind me of the time she had found I had dismantled her brand new hoover at 5 years old! The only difference now is that I can put it back together! I like to spend my weekends on my motorbike, I also have an interest in airsofting and like a wide range of music. I am hoping to buy a house within the next few months and would definitely like to see some more parts of the world
