"I started my business in 2003 and have always worked alone, but as I got married a couple of years ago I decided to try and grow the business as I was always working silly hours and wanted to spend more time with my wife Carol.

"I have alway wanted a showroom so in 2019 I moved into the unit in Mitchelston and spent around a year fixing it up.”

Sean opened his showroom to customers last September, and as other companies have struggled during the pandemic Sean has seen his company grow with him being able to take on extra staff.

"We offer people something a little bit different with first class service, and we never shy away from any job no matter how big or small.

"I’ve lived in Kirkcaldy for most of my life and try to serve the community as best I can as I’m very passionate about what I do.
