[Ian Rochester]

Joined Army in 81 as Avionics Engineer, left in 92 after first Gulf conflict, got job at Twinings teas as engineer, then department manager making all those aromatic teas, used to come home jump in the bath and be "infused" with the smell of camomile and peppermint!!

Left there in 95 and joined Jus-rol as Shift Manager till 99, then moved to another factory as Factory Manager, got made redundant at the end of 2002.

Started this job in Jan 03, as a temp move till I found a "proper job", wife gave up work in 2008 to look after the phones, books and wages, got 16 staff now and sometimes wish I was back at Jan 03 working just by myself again!

Merry Christmas.

my partner and myself both trained with a well known carpet cleaning/fire and flood restoration Franchise , from day one of working together as a team we said one day we would set up on our own.
18 months ago we made the break and here we are 
my partner trained as a cnc programmer years ago, and im from a nursing background.
we find his engineering skills and my nursing skills make an ideal combination when dealing with customers in a crisis situation.
oh and yes we are both mid forties too so we fit in well too
