The ABP Head Office Crew
Bob
The Boss
The Boss has been in this game forever and knows everything there is to know about access panels, where they came from, and where they're going and always has his finger on the pulse, apart from being an avid LUFC supporter.
Martin S
The Other Boss
Martin S is one of the kindest (and tightest) members of the crew. For some reason he seems to think we are all Mexican - welcoming us every morning with 'Morning Pedro's' at the top of his voice. Sadly, yet another LUFC supporter (but, this is being written by a NFFC fan).
Simon
The Warehouse Boss
Loves the Health & Safety stuff, and keeps us all in toe and legal. Likes things to be done to perfection, and has a massive knowledge and taste for, and of coffee. "Beware of the dog" (can get grumpy at times).
Penny
The Credit Controller
Controls the money, the credit accounts, the holidays, the birthday cards, the list goes on!! Tends to work the office floor (and Table Tennis) like a road runner, and can be heard approximately 1.63 miles within the outer boundaries of work.
Martin F
The Big Tech Guy
Doesn't miss a trick this one, which is highly important, as the other one regularly misses the trick. Our main Tech man knows his stuff with data and figures, and never forgets to cross the T's and dot the I's. Always on form and knows the answers!!
Steven
The Little Tech Guy
Does often miss a trick - and likes stripes and NFFC.
Rich
The Transport & Logistics Manager
This Grafter, is the man with the worst job on the team and a job everybody hates covering when he's off. Can do his job with his eyes closed. Come to think of it he can beat most of us at Pool with his eyes closed too (another LUFC fan (sadly)).
Ben
The Sales Boss
This is the man to talk to about Access Panels - he knows his stuff. Sadly, he knows his stuff a little too well, and can explain (for hours) why a suggested panel is the right one for you! (SWFC fan (that makes a change))
Donna
The Other Sales Boss
'DO NOT DISTURB WHEN BUSY'. Can sell sand to someone who sells a lot of sand, and pulls in all the big orders. Responsible for keeping Royal Mail in business, and can often be found in the sauna.
Emma
Sales Team
A new member of the team but has slotted in just brilliantly. So much so, that she has been put in charge of our Team Building Events Club. Just to note...if Emma hasn't told you already (probably has), she's getting married!
Tricia
Sales Team
Another new member of the team who has United (not Leeds) and blended to build on an already strong team. Tells it like it is and calls a spade a spade...thats why we put her next to Donna.
David
Sales Team
Broken record, I know, but David is also another new member of Access Building Products, and is learning the ropes just fantastically. Don't be fooled by his layed back approach, he's a mean finisher at Pool and can turn up the heat when needed!
Dan
The Sales Boss
Dan doesn't let much get to him, but I guess he's used to the highs and lows, being yet another LUFC fan at ABP. His layed back calm can calm the calmest person I know, and has the ability to sell salt to a slug, with his oustanding product knowledge.
Mike
Sales Team
Mike at the MC! With a telephone voice that will make you think that you've called Buckingham Palace by accident, you know your in good hands here. The look doesnt quite reflect the voice but, this man knows all there is to know. (doesnt like clocks (in or out))
Jeff
Sales & Orders Team
Jeff is first in the building and last out, and believe me he never stops running up and down the stairs all day. His record to date is 4.2 million steps in 24 hours.
George
Sales & Orders Team
George is the token Blackburn supporter, and doesn't he just sound like it. One of the kindest hearts in the team, and will do anything to please. His warming, dulset, Lancashire tones make you feel the worlds a safe place.
Janet
The Finance Boss
The Queen of accounts, and knows everything about numbers. That is apart from the amount of cups of tea she's made...none to date!
Steph
The Other Finance Boss
Part time accounts, but dont we miss her through the week. Has a very strong grip on the cheaky chaps around her, and has fantastic taste in buying treats to keep us happy.
Scott
The Warehouse Manager
Has a strong grip of the warehouse and is just short of Penny's 0-60mph time. Loves scaring the hell out of us when testing the fire alarms, and is the next Brad Pitt in the making. A budding amature actor, who has been caught many a time on the warehouse cameras clumsying it around.
Jordan
The Warehouse Team
The works part animal, and often has an expression of wondering "how or why things went wrong?". One of the kindest on the team who always has a smile to greet you...salt of the earth!
Matt
The Warehouse Team
The fork lift, Man United fan who likes things to go his way (typical United fan then). A highly competitive streak, and with good reason, as he gives his 100% in all that he does and learns.
Alistair
The Warehouse Team
If a rock wasn't called a rock, it would be called an 'Alistair'. Ultra reliable and a ultra happy type of guy that every work place needs. Well, we can't rely on that other lot can we? You know you can...We are Access Building Products Ltd.
Harry
The Warehouse Team
Enjoys eating, drinking and partying far too much and whilst he still looks well on it (just) the tide will turn very soon. Another staff member who talks far too much football especially about the misery of Leeds Utd’s current plight.
