Meet the Team

 

Steve Gardener
Company Director

Steve has worked in every department of D&G during his 20-plus years with the company and now manages the finance and administration operation. As part of his drive to constantly improve D&G's operation, he has recently overseen the introduction of a state-of-the-art resource planning system which ensures customer requirements are handled as efficiently and punctually as possible. He is already looking for other improvements ensuring the company is at the leading edge of technology and customer service.

Paul Gardener
Sales Director

Paul's 25 year career in sales and project management and extensive product knowledge ensure rapid progress from the earliest stages of the project cycle through to completion of extensive refurbishments and fit-outs. His drive, knowledge and expertise are the secret behind D&G's track record and an array of satisfied clients including blue chip and global operators.

 

Mike Butler
Operations Director

Another D&G 'lifer', Mike's 20 years have made him an integral part of the team. He looks after warehousing and deliveries, using D&G's resource planning system to put the brains behind what is often the 'grunt' part of the operation. The result is a well-oiled machine and satisfied customers throughout the UK.

Louise joined D&G eight years ago. A BA in Interior Design from the University of South Wales, Louise’s first job after graduating was designing kitchens and bathrooms. Useful experience?

Alex Stock O'Neil
Interior Designer

After D&G approached the University of South Wales in 2016 looking for a placement student to fit into their design department, Alex was shortlisted almost immediately. She continued working with D&G as she completed her BA in Interior Design, graduating with a 1st in May 2018.
She describes her colleagues as all very different but great to work with and multiple projects mean that every day is different.

Gumption, horsepower, experience (yes, they probably have seen it all before) and a can-do attitude ensure D&G cover the last mile for their customers. Never short of a smile or the right-sized hex wrench, our installation team's cheery attitude doesn't detract from a focussed, professional approach.
