I was proud to be invited to join the family business in 2007, some 18 years after it was founded by my dad, Paul Read. I totally share Dad's vision for the company being regarded as one that truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction.In my role I take care of a range of tasks, all of them requiring specialist wood veneering skills and knowledge. I enjoy the variety that comes with the role, and my dedication to ensuring a job well done, whether it's a small table or an extensive tender for a hotel chain; a single cabinet front or a large set of panels for a magnificent Gothic church, is unwavering.
