Your favourite thing about West Belfast: My favourite thing about West Belfast is definitely the people. The sense of humour is second to none. We’re a funny crowd.

Your First Job: These jobs taught me about being independent, the importance of working and the benefits of earning your own money, it taught me to work with others and have fun at the same time.

What do you think are the key ingredients needed to make a person or organisation the Best of the West? My first job was selling the Andytown News around the doors every Wednesday & Sunday night. Before getting a job in Dunnes Stores Park Centre.
