Having served on a PLC board of a FTSE 250 company, being Managing Director of a property services business for over 30 years and achieving an annual turnover of over £600m (part of a £2.4bn pa PLC business); I decided to set up Trident Maintenance Services with a simple Mission and Vision. Our Mission is to provide painting solutions that transform the experience of our customers, employees and the communities in which we work, with a vision of being a trusted partner to both customers and our own people, offering outstanding delivery through dedication, training and sustainable resource.
I have been involved in the painting and refurbishment industry for over 20 years after graduating with a BA (Hons) degree from the University of Strathclyde Business School in 1999. I’ve progressed from Quantity Surveyor to Commercial Manager and possess strong leadership skills. During my career I have developed a thorough knowledge and understanding of all market sectors and I’m experienced at assisting clients with specifications and offering advice on alternative cost-efficient methods. I am a motivated team player who is results driven with a clear focus on quality of customer service.

I started my working life as an apprentice painter and decorator and upon completion then had a spell carrying out maintenance work on cruise ships in the Caribbean. On my return, I started my own business which I ran for 21 years, delivering renovations of public houses, fitting kitchens and bathrooms and building extensions. Once my children finished school, I felt it was time to try something new and spent the next 10 years as a maintenance repairs manager, overseeing a team of 24 trade staff and looking after anything relating to health and safety and emergency repairs within campuses. I then spent two years travelling the world before embarking on a career within the insurance industry with work predominantly comprising fire related repairs and in some cases demolition of the property and replacing it with new from the ground up, with projects ranging in value from £150k to £1m and running multiple projects at any one time.
I am now very much looking forward to working with the Trident team and using my knowledge and experience to ensure positive and successful outcomes for all.
