He appeared in the Daily Record at the weekend and here are a few excerpts from that feature.
A YOUNG go-getter who landed his dream job as a racing car mechanic has blasted SNP plans to slash employment funding.
Stuart Thomson is set to start work as an apprentice with IF Motorsports, who specialise in designing parts for Formula 1 cars.
The 20-year-old has been working as an administrator in a job funded by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, who support former mining communities.
He explained: "The CRT helped me get on the job ladder, which gave me the confidence to go for the racing car mechanic job.I am sure you will all join us in wishing Stuart the best in the future!
"I have to keep pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming.
"The first thing they told me was to get a passport because I am off to Spain with the team as soon as I start and after that I go to France, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Germany and possibly to Japan.
"I'm really thankful for the funding I received and it's unfair that other young people won't be able to chase the dream like I did."
Stuart was working with the Fife business start-up and training organisation BRAG before landing the job with Dunfermline's IF Motorsports.
