Production Manager : Stephen Evans
'Ten years service March 1999 to March 2009, thank you Stephen!'
Stephen Evans, 29, is our Production Manager and a stained glass craftsman. He joined the company when he was 19 coming from a job in retail. He joined the company as an apprentice, learning the skills of glass cutting and making stained glass. All the craft training was done in-house and we also arranged for him to be enrolled on the NVQ programme with a training provider, Glass Training Ltd. He worked very hard to achieve both a level 2 and 3 in glass processing.
Stephen has gone from strength to strength, showing excellent skills not only making the stained glass but also in speaking with customers and organising the work flow, so he was promoted to take on the role as Production Manager 5 years ago.
With the increasing demands of Health and Safety Legislation he has offered to take on the role as H&S coordinator and has recently completed the difficult NEBOSH health and safety course at Bury College.
Business Administrator : Paula Taylor
Paula is our business administrator, in charge of the accounts, payroll and is the hub of the business making everything work efficiently. She joined the company three years ago following a career break to bring up her children.
She joined the company, part time, as a trainee admin assistant, having had no direct experience of the type of work before. She passed 3 courses on Sage Accounting and achieved an NVQ level 2 in Business administration. She is also completing the final modules of the ECDL European Computer Driving Licence that has improved her computer skills. With the confidence that success in her other studies has given her she has now enrolled in a degree level course with the Open University in business administration. She has proved to be really excellent at and committed to her job.
Paula has been known to multi-task as can be 
seen here making some stained glass panels for Booth's Music Shop and taking phone calls at the same time.
Stained Glass Craftsman : Carl Whitehead
Carl Whitehead joined the company two years ago looking for a change from his previous career in personnel. He took up the opportunity to retrain as a stained glass craftsworker. Although he had no previous glass working experience, his natural skills and abilities have been matched to his new job. He has such patience and enthusiasm for this demanding job that he encourages everyone to strive to be even better at their jobs, always wanting to achieve an excellent result.
Jack Seddon : Apprentice Craftsman
Jack is the eldest son of directors Andrew and Corina Seddon. He has shown great promise in his training so far learning the art of stained glass making. He is dividing his time between full time study at Bury College doing A levels and learning how to cut glass and make stained glass windows at Classical Glass.
