Meet Peter Phillips – Our New Sales Representative
We’re delighted to welcome Peter Phillips, our new Sales Representative, to the Tradeglaze team!
Since joining us, Pete has quickly become a valued member of the team. He brings a positive mindset, a willingness to learn, and a genuine enthusiasm for delivering great service. His arrival reflects our commitment to investing in people and processes that support our ongoing growth.
We recently caught up with Pete to learn more about his journey, his experience at Tradeglaze so far, and what he’s looking forward to in his new role:
What does a typical day look like for you?
“I spend part of my time in the office preparing quotes and making design adjustments for clients. The rest of the time, I’m out on the road visiting customers across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Yorkshire.
The team has been incredibly welcoming; everyone’s so positive, helpful, and knowledgeable. Honestly, I’m a bit jealous of their expertise!
What has impressed me the most is the genuine passion that everyone has for the products and the company. It’s clear that everyone here really lives and breathes Tradeglaze.”
What has been your most rewarding moment so far?
“I love every day interacting with customers, building rapport and helping them find the perfect glazing solution that completes their property. It’s been great to see a few of these projects already come into fruition.”
Pete has already received some fantastic feedback from customers:
“I must add that the salesperson, Peter Phillips, was very polite and helpful, and the surveyor also was. I am very pleased with my new door!“
What aspect of your role have you enjoyed the most so far?
“It’s great being part of a collaborative sales team. We constantly share knowledge, support each other, and work closely with the surveying team to ensure every project meets regulations and runs smoothly. The teamwork here is outstanding – everyone’s happy to help.”
It’s also been fantastic to see Pete getting involved in different areas of the business – including lending a hand to our marketing team. You may have seen him in action in our recent video showcasing our newly remodelled showroom.
What are you most looking forward to in the future in regards to your role?
“I am really keen to learn even more about the industry, from building regulations to technical product specifications to further developing customer relationships.
But I have to admit, I’m also looking forward to driving around Lincoln and pointing out projects to friends and family, saying ‘We did that renovation!’ or ‘That’s one of our new builds!’”
What surprised you the most about working in the fenestration industry?
“Just how vast it is! It was a little overwhelming at first, but I’m finding my feet. I’ve already completed two FENSA courses – one on sales and compliance, and one as an introduction to surveying – and I’m looking forward to building on that knowledge.”
A fun fact about Pete …
Outside of work, Pete is really busy with a trip to see the Pyramids organised later this year, and spending time with his best friend Bean! She is a 50kg Great Dane cross with a big personality!
At Tradeglaze, we’re proud to support talented individuals like Pete who help us deliver every project to the highest standard. With a dedicated team and a state-of-the-art facility, we remain focused on quality, innovation, and the customer journey.
