Life Changing Experience
Introducing James
McCormack now of Thatch and Fire Protection Services, who says:
2009 saw the
biggest change in direction of my business career and it was all as a
result of speaking to Emily at Tusker!
I have been in the
roofing industry for over 20 years and specialise in thatch roofing.
Thatch is a joy to work with and done well looks amazing. Of course,
you don't need to be a master thatcher to know that it is a highly
flammable material and that extra care needs to be taken in
protecting the property against fire. This in turn is reflected in
strict building regulations which are there for the protection of the
building and the people who live in it.
Emily Wright, the
director and general manager at Tusker approached me with an
innovative new product known as PU28 Fire Barrier. It meets all the
relevant BS standards for fire barriers and is available on rolls in
a selection of widths.
I used the product
myself on projects we had at the time and found it was excellent.
This is where the life changing part comes: I was so impressed with
it, I started talking to other people I knew within the industry and
began supplying them. That side of the business took off so well, I
created my own distribution company, Thatch and Fire Protection
Services.
Now I still run my
original thatching business as I don't think I could ever give it up.
The distribution company is growing very well and I've even started
to offer more products.
It's amazing what
a difference just one product can make!
And now, Emily
Wright, Director and General Manager responds:
It has been an
excellent experience to work with James in the early stages of his
distribution business. It's been great for us because of increased
sales but even more important is finding new products in new markets
for us as we move forward.
James is an
shining example of how we can work with our distributors to maximise
their revenue and create a successful business partnership.
We wish him well
in the future and look forward to doing a lot more business together.
