:wink_smile:Hi all, I worked self - employed as a tiler for 20 years before my knees said no more floors!! After registering with Topps as a trader in 1985 ,two years ago I was offered a job with them,having had sales experience in kitchen retail,I jumped at the chance and am looking forward to 20 odd years with Topps.I do have a vast fixing and product knowledge so I will always try to assist if anyone has any unanswered questions,and have never been frightened to ask a question myself in search of the best solution to any problem kind regards Gaz @ Topps.

Big thanks to all for a warm welcome to the forum.Dan by the way Mr.Price left a while ago to set up the Tile Giant(direcly opposite our new store)lol if it gets to a price war there can only be one winner.Ive never met Mssrs Bester or Williams so I have no comment.However this job is my second choice given that my passion is fixing regards to all Gaz

Hey gaz, hows it goin, i deal with topps day in day out, great service:wink_smile:

 

[GazTech]

Glad to hear that trev, but your just lucky,any tile shop is only as good as the bods running it,our Topps @ Preston is brill but I could name Topps shops run by total tossers.In general Topps do have the best choice for any job in our industry .,by the way which one do you use?

 

[trevortine]

Its the Shawfield one in Glasgow, only complaint i have is its the dearest place for bal products.

 

[GazTech]

Yea Shawfield hav'nt let our shop down yet,inter store tranactions etc Scottish lads are excellent all stuff well wrapped and sent when promised. As regards to BAL prices,well embarrassing but hey,price the job accordingly,and if needs be use Toppfix and palace.you know it makes sense. PS I bet my celtic buds up there like we dont use the 'loan a tile tranaction on a trader as someone on the forum stated their Topps store do!! THE SHAAME yet to be told which one it was yet Gaz
