Company has opened door to success for more than 25 years

WITH the aim of supplying the best quality garage doors and the best quality fitting,

Tayside Garage Doors has been providing a fantastic family-run service for more than 25 years.

Husband and wife team George and

Kathleen Nisbet launched the business in 1993.

George’s time as a car mechanic was useful in the fitting and repairing of garage doors, while Kathleen kept the accounts and the paperwork in order.

Their son Michael came out of the

Army just as the business was getting busy and his time as an armourer in the armed forces also helped him in the garage door trade.

The time came in October 2009 when

George and Kathleen were due to retire so Kathleen took Michael’s wife Simone under her wing and showed her the ropes of looking after the accounts.

Simone said: “My background was in marketing, advertising and customer service – so I feel I can achieve the same cheery service the family has provided our customers for so long.

“I realise we have a duty to keep building on the wonderful business reputation that George and Kathleen spent years building up, so I also undertook a product knowledge course with Hormann, one of our suppliers, and enjoyed my time learning about the products and how they are made.”

Following the retiral of George and

Kathleen, the business grew and moved into a new industrial unit on West

Pitkerro Industrial Estate, providing the company with its own showroom.

Simone added: “We are very excited to welcome in our customers to look at our products in a comfortable and warm environment.

“You can have a cuppa while leafing through the brochures and test out the doors at your leisure.

“I enjoy speaking to the lovely customers who come into the showroom, so feel free to pop in and say hello.”

The company is also a Trusted Trader and is available to give any advice customers need to make their choice.

Simone added: “We treat our customers how we would like to be treated – with honesty and good communication.”
