Favourite thing about my job? The favourite part of my job is in the design. By showing people what can be achieved with a bit of investment. Those are the customers you will keep for life.

What I hate about my job?  Lofts in the summer. Oh, and the winter too. Ha.

Funny customer story?  In the days before i had a nice van with fancy central locking i was in the back of the van and the door slammed shut locking me inside because the handle was  broken. It was the middle of summer and like an oven. By the time someone heard me banging on the van and opened the door id stripped most of my clothes off and was half naked, just sat there in a puddle of sweat. God knows what the old dear who opened to door thought.

What I hate about my job?  Tool kits for new starters are a major thing, it’s a catch 22, they have  little spare income due to apprentice wages but without the  tools they don’t have to capacity to earn more. So things like kit builders or trade specific starter packs would be a good idea.
