Background
After a decade of serving in her Majesty’s Royal Marines, Alexander believed it was time for a new chapter in his life. He quickly focused his energy into a new career, and after studying at college, was successful with a large national company where he became one of the top engineers in his area. This role helped him to focus on customer service and to always keep the customer informed.
Alexander then worked as a site manager where he learned more aspects of leadership and organisation. At this point Alexander and his wife started their own family and believed that working for himself was the best next step in his career. This has allowed Alexander to put all the skills he has learned into his own business and provide a high standard of work for customers.
One of the aspects that Alexander enjoys of the job is meeting new people from all different backgrounds and creating great relationships with his clients.
