Meet The Team

Arridge Garage Doors Limited was established in 1989 in Oswestry, North Shropshire.

Arridge Garage Doors Ltd is the internet garage door discounter with both SMAS and ISO9001 accreditations. Established in 1989 as a local supply and fit company, we were one of the very first suppliers of garage doors on the internet from 1999. We now offer a nationwide installation service. We pride ourselves in accurate, unbiased and clear technical help before, during and after purchase.

Mark: Managing Director, founder, sales person, technical expert and all round bottle washer. Taught design and technology prior to starting the business. Fitted garage doors for many years before the company became web-based. Interested in Rugby Union, but would not consider playing it these days, due to his gammy shoulder and dodgy hip. Likes cycling, saunas, mountain walking, curry, stand-up comedy and the odd pint. Mark is a stickler for giving the customer maximum technical help and advice. “The door has got to be right” is his mantra.

Luke: Luke joined the team midway through 2018. Having previously worked in the building industry, he is able to apply strong visualisation skills and practical knowledge to real world applications: If there is a best way forward, Luke will be sure to communicate this with you fully. The last decade has been spent in various sales roles within multiple industries where Luke's primary focus has always been the customer and the journey they experience. 
Out of office hobbies include: hiking, gym time, watching films or relaxing with friends.

Rich: is the newest member of our team with over 30 years’ experience in the building industry, primarily coming from a builders merchants back ground. Always keen to help and spend time with customers to choose the correct garage door, according to their requirements, sizes and budget. Rich enjoys getting his hands dirty, currently refurbishing his 1960's property.  Interests include travel, eating out and he is also a keen fisherman.

Bob: joined our team in March 2013. He has many years experience in the building industry ranging from house building and commercial construction to a long stint as a hands-on maintenance manager of a historic listed hotel. Always keen to help and spend time on the phone helping customers choose the correct garage door according to their requirements, sizes and budget.

One thing our customers can be sure of is that each team member has the same aim: "to give first class service to and ensure complete satisfaction for all our valuable customers".
