Nothings too much for Mark
Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end
Scott Adams
Whilst fitting a wet room in an FCHO property during a programme of kitchen and bathroom renewals, the resident mentioned that he wanted to replace his door. He had purchased the door but it needed painting and hanging, a job he couldn’t manage by himself.
Although it wasn’t part of the programme of works, Site Supervisor Mark Collins immediately said there would be no need for the resident to pay for someone to do the job. He took the door back to the Emanuel Whittaker joinery work shop and painted it in his lunch breaks over a number of days. He then returned to the property to fit the door in his lunch break.
