Installations Manager for Channel Windows
This was a busy Kent based company installing Commercial glazing for retail, hospitals, MOD and local

many varied products from different manufacturers and manage the nine fitting teams and one snagging
team on a daily basis.
Feb 1998 to Aug 2001
Fenestration Surveyor (glazing) for Glaze UK
This was a medium sized double glazing company based in Edgware with fifteen fitting teams and work
covering all of London. As the only Surveyor, I would take the calls direct from the commercial and domestic
salesmen and book the survey time with the clients. I would then carry out the detailed surveys and order all
required materials for the installation teams.
Before 1998
Self-employed Carpenter/window fitter.
Working for companies such as Anglian and a few of the better known regional companies that held good
reputations I had built up my own good reputation for being able to take on the difficult and technical work in
schools, hospitals, MOD, retail, and domestic. I was known for carrying out my own surveys and would be
engaged more and more to carry out surveys on a regular basis for other companies. This led me to focus on
the more technical side of the work with less time on the tools until I was approached by Glaze UK to be their
surveyor.
Hobbies and interests:
I regularly play golf with my Son and friends.
Most forms of motor racing interests me.
