Summary

With 20 years being a business owner for Window Renovations Ltd, I completely understand how the customer is the most important relationship a business to develop a long term focused mutually respected relationship.

I have 20 years experience of repairing, maintaining and installing the full range of Aluminum Joinery.

I have a reputation of the "Go to Person" to repair or modify a full range Residential and Commercial Joinery that other experts are unable to assist with due to unique complexity outside the scope of any technical drawings or design manuals available.

I know well the Aluminium Joinery Hardware products within the wide range of brands and Im a hands on practical person that has the attitude the I can fix anything and it has been proven over 20 years of experience.

Knowing all your Products would be invaluable to understand customers enquiries and also would be very beneficial to developing and increasing customer business in all aspects.

I relate well to the diverse range of personalities and that would be one of my unique strengths is to engage and connect with in a genuine and professional manner.
