This month we meet Tony King, Styletechs new Architectural Ironmongery Estimator & Scheduler.

Tony King joined Graham-Ford Builders Merchants (formerly Louis G Ford) from School in the late 1970’s, on a two Year Company training scheme. After having worked in all the product departments, he expressed an interest in Ironmongery and was thrown in at the deep-end when the department head was absent for a period of time. The first project Tony managed was Portsmouth Crown Court. “My first real taste of problem solving and indeed my first proper site visit was to sort some issues and keep things on track”.

From here, Tony joined Security & Sign Services in the early 1980’s. As an Ironmongery Estimator, he was heavily involved in marketing Assa products to the marine Industry and worked on lots of memorable projects including ‘The Canberra’ when she returned from the Falklands, supplying lock cases & door furniture to the Swedish Embassy and a Master Keyed Suite Assa Twin 6000 to The Israeli Embassy.

Tony returned to his old depot in a Managerial role, working on supplying ironmongery to The Cabinet Offices, The Royal Yacht Britannia and the refurbishment of Pizza Hut Restaurants throughout the UK. Tony gained experience in the design lead industry, a move into Haywood Architectural in the 90’s saw him looking after existing contracts, but his heart was longing for fresh projects.

He found his way back into Arcon (previously Security & Sign Services) managing contracts, the trade counter and being group estimator overseeing AI, quoting and scheduling. Notable projects included Salisbury Playhouse and Paddington Green Police Station.
