My name is Richard O'Connor. I am a family man, living with my wife, daughters and grandson in Shortlanesend, near Truro, Cornwall. I have a background in engineering, and have worked in the construction industry since 2004. I have completed an apprenticeship in earth building and lime plastering, and run a successful decking & fencing business. Prior to this I spent many years working with vulnerable people.
