Installer Profile, Profile Paul Bettis of Paul Bettis Carpentry
PAUL'S A HAPPY HAMMER AND PRETTY GOOD WITH A SCREWDRIVER TOO! In this issue we feature West Ham United loving and iKBBI member Paul Bettis Established for some fifteen years, Paul’s business installs kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms throughout the majority of Essex and London. The company specialises in providing a bespoke service, especially with regards to bedrooms as, uniquely, all the units are fabricated in its purpose built workshop. All installations are completed by Paul, along with the resources of a labourer. We asked Paul how he generated his business, to which he replied: “Most of my work is sub-contracted from a small family run business, Steve Murphy Interiors, located in Benfleet, Essex and also from a joint venture with SB Plastering located in the same town, which also happens to be a small family run business.” He added “A healthy proportion of our work also comes from previous client recommendations and, of course, the iKBBI.” Paul began installing kitchens and bathrooms while working for his brother-in-law Stuart Young, who ran a refurbishment/building company in London called YPC Limited. He began as a labourer but soon progressed to Project Manager. Paul remains interested in site management, and feels that one day he may take up the challenge of this type of role.
