Managing Director
When I started the business with a very small workforce I was the person designing and selling the kitchen, helping to make the kitchens, sometimes the delivery driver, and on many occasions fitting the kitchen.I am still very active in the business with many experienced people around me doing the jobs I used to do, however when required I am still willing and able to roll up my sleeves and do what needs to be done.
