Meet our resident Tool and Machinery Expert Sales Advisor: Mr Paul Richmond.
Paul's background explains why he has such a great knowledge of tools and machinery and is always able to give good advice to customers. After completing a full apprenticeship in the Royal Ordinance Factory he then worked for 7 years as a machinist in the engineering industry.
During this time he developed a love of woodwork and spent his evenings honing his skills in various woodworking disciplines such as joint cutting and setting machines etc. Later he joined his friend's general building company as a carpenter come kitchen fitter.
He spent 6 good years with him and learnt a lot about working on site and building work in general as well as further developing his ability to work in wood. At the end of those six years, Paul started his own business making furniture which lasted 4 years.
He then moved into retail by working as a salesman for a builder's merchant. Since his move to Data, Paul has built up an excellent rapport with customers who trust him in recommending the right tool for the job.
