AFTER LEAVING SCHOOL IN 1977 I CARRIED ON IN THE FAMILY TRADITION WITHIN
THE BUILDING TRADE AND STARTED MY APPRENTICESHIP IN CARPENTRY AND JOINERY
WITH A LOCAL BUILDING CONTRACTOR.
AFTER SERVING MY APPRENTICESHIP FOR THREE YEARS I HAD GAINED MY CRAFT AND
ADVANCED CRAFT CITY AND GUILDS CERTIFICATES IN BOTH CARPENTRY AND
JOINERY.
FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS I CONTINUED WORKING FOR MY EMPLOYER ON MAINLY
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.
IN 1983 I DECIDED TO BECOME SELF EMPLOYED. FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS I WORKED
ON HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND LARGE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, INCLUDING THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A MOCK GERMAN VILLAGE ON SALISBURY PLAIN TO BE USED FOR
MILITARY TRAINING.
IN 1989 I STARTED TO TRADE AS RICHARD VINCENT CARPENTRY & BUILDING.
I WORKED MAINLY ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES CARRYING OUT GENERAL REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS, FITTING KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS, BUILDING PORCHES, GARAGES, GARDEN BUILDINGS, WORKSHOPS, CONSERVATORIES AND LOFT CONVERSIONS.
THROUGHOUT THE 90’S I CONTINUED BUILDING UP MY BUSINESS AND FROM
1993 TO THE PRESENT DAY MOST OF MY WORK COMES FROM THE HOUSE EXTENSIONS
AND LOFT CONVERSIONS MARKET WITH THE OCCASIONAL NEW BUILD.
IN 2006 TOM ONE OF MY FOUR SONS JOINED THE BUSINESS AS AN APPRENTICE
CARPENTER AND JOINER.
IN 2009 I DECIDED TO FORM A LIMITED COMPANY AND STARTED TRADING AS
R. VINCENT & SONS LTD.
TODAY MY BUSINESS IS WELL ESTABLISHED WITH MANY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
AND A LARGE VARIETY OF COMPLETED PROJECTS BEHIND US.
