Dave Nevell – Installation & Sales of Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms
I joined Goliath back in September 1997 following the sad death of Lady Diana Spencer. It may sound like a long time but I can honestly say that the last 14 years have flown by.
I started as part of the installation team but have been working with the sales / admin team for the last four years. I still occasionally dust my tools off if needs must.
Installation Team
Don't be fooled by appearances! These are the guys at the sharp end. Our fitting teams provide a professional and courteous service to our customers and clients and are a vital part of the company. They are one of the many reasons why Goliath have been able to maintain a reputation for high standards of quality and service.
