Married to Karen and has 3 sons.
Having worked for several garage door companies in the early years he decided to go it alone in 1995 having seen the industry from many different angles.
His interests are his beloved Bolton Wanderers of which he has followed all his life (arm chair support and the odd match now and then – like most Bolton fans!!) Darren likes F1 and the roar of V10`s and the thrill of speed (you should see his van!!). He likes driving but – never above the speed limit of course. He also likes dining out with his family and having the odd beer or two!
Darren Left school in 1982 with 6 GCSE`s in English, Maths, Geography, Woodwork, Metalwork and Technical Drawing. He has 5 Swimming Certificates – very useful for “wet” garages!
He went from school to Bolton Council to work as an Apprentice Joiner and finished his Apprenticeship in Carpentry and Joinery with City and Guilds Qualifications. Upon completion of his Apprenticeship he went working on building sites to gain more experience of the building industry.
He then stumbled into the garage door and automation industry and took to it like a duck to water.
Areas covered and types of doors fitted by Darren
Basically he will travel anywhere as long as a contribution towards fuel and time is met – as said above he loves driving. Most of Darren's garage door installation work is in the Lytham, Southport, Blackpool and Preston areas. Over the years Darren has fitted a lot of Carteck sectional doors , Hormann steel doors and did a flurry of work in Berkshire installing Cedar sectional doors for our customers.
Just a quick note to say that Darren installed the door last week. Really happy with the door. It’s made a huge difference being able to use the space efficiently and without rupturing myself to lift the old door. Darren was a complete star taking out the old door – which was a complete nightmare – weighed a ton! I can’t praise him highly enough. We really appreciate all his efforts and conscientiousness.

Just to let you know that Darren fitted our garage doors today. First, delighted with the doors and your service, second to none! Also, really pleased with the way Darren fitted the door for us. Very professional and an absolute delight to do business with. Although he is a business in his own right I do think he is a real asset to your company, a real ambassador! Bill Farrell
