Why Lantern Davis Limited?


28 years in glazing. Practical results.

 

I've worked in glazing since 1998, across aluminium, uPVC, steel and timber, from Development Manager at Schlegel, National Product Manager at Schüco and Comar, and NV automation specialist at SE Controls.

​

Formally trained as a product manager, with a BEng from Coventry and PGDip Business Admin from Warwick, I started out as a design engineer, so have a practical understanding as well as a highly strategic mindset.

 

I've sat on industry committees at the Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB), the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the Centre for Window & Cladding Technology (CWCT), helping author published standards and peer-reviewed research papers.

​

My credentials:

  • BEng, Coventry University

  • PGDip Business Administration, Warwick Business School, Warwick University

  • PRINCE2 project management

  • Product Management (IPM)

​

You'll work with me directly.

 

Recent successes:

  • Framework bid work marked "an outstanding response" by Cambridgeshire County Council

  • Won Wales national framework bid for a small contractor

  • ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems audits for an Essex-based fabricator/installer

  • Gap analysis for an Oxfordshire contractor of 200+ staff, helping expand their access to tenders.

​

 

Give me a call, there's no obligation and I'd be glad to hear from you.
I know your time is precious, and your business success is paramount.

 

We'll discuss how you can best achieve your ambitions for your products and services.

 

Naturally, our first, introductory meeting is free!
