The work was done very professionally and all who were involved were punctual and communication between the Company and us was exemplary. We have no hesitation in warmly recommending this Company.

Work History

I originally was a Civil Servant upon leaving school and this did give me an excellent grounding in the value of good paperwork/organizational skills and also working as part of a team.
From there I moved into sales with United Biscuits,firstly as a Merchandiser/Trainee Salesman rising quickly to Salesman then to Area Sales Trainer to National Sales Trainer and Relief Area Manager.
Next step was into the Home Improvements market,originally with C.R.Smith, progressing through to running the Conservatory division at Farleys in Edinburgh and lastly with P.M. Sinclair,where I learned a lot about the Building Industry in general.
Upon starting my own company,I have done a lot of varied work from fitting windows to kitchens to garden sheds to house renovations! I do consider the company to be very versatile in our work capability. However,I would not undertake a job which was outwith my remit and make a hash of it.
