Tell us about yourself
I first joined the preservation industry at 22 years old working for Protim Services in Clydebank. After two years, I moved to Peter Cox and became a surveyor in 1994 under the then young Les Meikle (now Managing Director of Wise Property Care). In 1996, I then joined Timberwise and in 2000, left to start up my own business. Finally, in 2010, I returned to Wise Property Care and I'm really pleased to be back.
