  2. Very saddened to hear the loss of a great man one of which took a chance and gave me an opportunity Into the working world as a fresh face 18 year old straight out of school at Ewen Glass. A pathway that has got me to where I am now working as a linesman in Australia. May you be at peace now my friend and again Thankyou for taking a chance.

    1. Jordan, Peter watched you take up the challenge of transforming from a young school boy to a maturing young man with the world at your feet. He was amazed at how easily you took to the task at hand and just filled the roll in the auto glazing bay and became a trusted loyal staff member so easily. He was proud of your achievements and although sad when you left he was really delighted at the life choices you made for a strong happy financially secure future.
      Kind regards
