As an industry leader in the window and glazing sector for over 40 years. I have worked extremely hard to create an inspiring and creative landscape for our clients and our employees, with a strong emphasis on innovation and product quality. Everything we do at Building Product Solutions is about surpassing customer expectations to be nothing but exceptional, that’s what our business is all about.

I know the kind of company I want my name and reputation to be associated with and that’s what I have achieved through hard work, dedication and working with a team of motivated staff to achieve our company goals and objectives, without them none of this would be possible.

For the first 21 years of my career I worked within the Printing and Newspaper Industry carrying out such roles as Accounts and Secretarial, before eventually finding my niche as a HR generalist.

I decided to take the plunge in November 2015 and leave my role for some well-earned time out before exploring a new challenge. A few months later I accepted a HR Advisor’s role working with a local window & door manufacturer, as this exciting opportunity gave me the chance to implement a brand new HR service in the business for the first time.

The last 15-years of working in HR have been challenging and rewarding at the same time due to the vast array of issues I’ve come across. My skills and knowledge in HR and Business Management have gone from strength to strength over the years and I continuously educate and develop in this area.

I have worked across a number of different industries and I was a presser in a sewing factory for the early part of my career and then moved over to work at Speed Frame making cavity closers. After having a career break I then joined Building Product Solutions as a Factory Manager where I ensure that the team work to the highest standards in accordance with our quality assurance policies and health and safety specifications. I manage the day-to-day operations of the factory team and also train new and existing employees on each work station and individual role, making sure that we have a multi skilled workforce and we can maintain our production levels.

I am passionate about working with people and the roles that I had prior to working at Building Product Solutions have all been in a customer service environment from working as an Activities Coordinator Apprentice to working with customers helping them dealing with online enquiries. I am a Site Liaison and Production Controller now which I really enjoy, it is a varied role with daily contact with our customers and also liaising internally with our fitting teams and also ensuring that workflows from order to completion.

I did a year Youth Training Scheme before I had a change of heart and for a number of companies throughout my career these being English Rose, JJ Fashions, Michael Mays, Claremont Gardens to name but a few carrying out a range of sewing machine roles. I left the industry to take up a role at Speed Frame on the shop floor working on the gearing for windows and also in the welding department, from there I moved into the wages department. I took a role at James Town Metals where I managed the order book for the sales and a number of admin functions. When Building Product Solutions was founded I was asked to come and work as the Estimating Manager where I prepare all of the quotes for our clients.

My career has been built around the window industry, having started my career in 1997 working at Speed Frame carrying out order processing, working on new build and placements as well as helping with any admin duties. I then went to work at Solar Frame in a similar role carrying out order processing and office admin. I then took up a new role at Building Product Solutions preparing quotations and submitting these to customers. With my vast experience I was instrumental in setting up new roles across the office environment and my current role is now both challenging and rewarding.
