Am I independent

I am completely independent of any manufacturer. I do still own a large waterproofing company that operates across London and the South. If I take on consultancy it is on the basis that it is not the sort of project for MacLennanuk or is outside of the geographical area covered by MacLennan waterproofing so then I am totally independent with no commercial interest.

I have been presenting CPD training to market leading Engineers, architects, surveyors and building contractors. In Devon I can do this in person or remotely.
