Meet the Team Stephen Grundy
We recently caught up with Stephen Grundy, our National Installation Manager, who's been with J.T. Ellis for 2 years now and has made a real difference to how we work.

Q) What responsibilities does your role include?
A) I manage our external service and installation for customers, ensuring we provide a good product.
Q) What’s a typical day like for you?
A) I know a lot of people say this, but I truly mean it, no two days are the same, and no two customers' needs are identical. I travel all over the country, one day I'm in Edinburgh, and the next I'm in Manchester. It's what I love about the job.
