  • Nov 2021 - Jul 2022

  Very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to join a new development team within RW Joinery (a bespoke joinery company with over 50 years experience) called RW Maintain as their Sales & Estimating Manager. The government's reaction to the Grenfell tragedy was to revise the Fire Safety Act in this case Fire Doors in multi occupancy residential and commercial buildings. With the introduction of the Golden Thread this meant that everyone in charge of a building from owners down the line to facility managers were all now responsible for the performance & maintenance of installed fire doors. RW Maintain offers Inspection, Betterment, Repair, Replacement and Servicing of existing internal timber performance fire doorsets with third party BM Trada Certification from manufacture to installation and servicing. It was my responsibility to develop relationships with clients and provide cost estimates for our services. Ensuring that they and the properties they managed were compliant in all aspects of fire door safety. Show less



The Hut on 9

• Disley, England, United Kingdom

• The Hut Café Owner

  • Jan 2021 - Apr 2022

  In the months that followed being laid off due to COVID and the ensuing lock down restriction meant that even golf courses were closed. People did however go out for walks and the golf course was great place to do exactly that. The Hut on the 9th green (generally only used during golf competitions for light refreshments) wasn't being used, so I negotiated with Disley Golf Club to open it up and use it as walkers coffee shop. I sold hot and cold food, home made cakes, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. It turned out to be extremely popular and once the golfers returned even more so. The experience taught me how to run my own small business and develop my skills in building relationships with my customers. Today the Club continues to use the Hut as a viable business. Show less
