Favourite Food?
I’m a Cornish boy so naturally favorite food is a Cornish Pasty. Although not very healthy.
Best saying that describes you?
A customer once described me as a golden nugget. So we will go with that!
Something about your role
My role is to oversee the safe installation of Premium Solar Systems. Also to ensure that the customer or client gets the best Sky Solar experience possible as naturally it can be quite daunting allowing strangers onto your property and into your home. We pride ourselves on making people feel at ease by being courteous and approachable throughout the installation process.
