Who am I?
Hi my name is Gillie and I have worked in the Blind and Awning industry as a self employed contract installer, in this highly competitive market for over 23 years. Specialising in the Domestic and Commercial market at the top end range.
I have considerable experience and product knowledge. I would consider myself an expect in the field. & Vinyl Specialities and many other manufacturers.
I have worked with a variety of retail stores, architects and designers. I have also worked closely with manufacturers and their clients.
I am considered the preferred Contractor by companies such as Somfy and Markilux due to my knowledge of all Somfy and Markilux electrical products and their installations and programming, excluding electrical connections.
Products that I have worked with are:
• Blinds (all makes and models) – Motorised and Manual operation
• Retractable Awning systems – Motorised and Manual operation
• Plantation Shutters – Timber and Aluminium
• Curtains and Tracks – Motorised and manual operation
I also service and repair all products within the Blind and Awning industry. This includes repairs to Plantation Shutters.
What have I done?
I am trained as a Steel Fabricator/Welder and I have worked in the construction industry for 48 years. In that time I have built a solid understanding of all building materials and their appropriate fixings. In addition I have many years or rigging/difficult access experience and hold an unrestricted riggers licence.
After leaving the construction industry I started my own handyman business that ultimately led to my involvement in Blinds and Awnings.
I realise that there is no such thing as a square window and that from time to time there will be the need to think outside the square to make a product fit. I have earned myself the reputation of being able to take on and finish difficult projects to a high standard.
