✨Meet the owner ✨
Thought it was time I introduced myself properly ☺️
My name is Dale and I own Caledonian Pergolas and Canopies. I’ve been operating since 2017 and have built a very successful buisness over the years, I started out in East Lothian but now operate from the banks of Loch Lomond, where I am also very lucky to live with my partner Danielle our beautiful daughter Olivia and our 3 dogs Simba, Shinook and Poppy.
5 fun facts about myself:
1. I’ve been lucky enough to travel half of Europe and a little further afield too.
2. Ive still got and occasionally drive my first car, a Mitsubishi L200 with 250k miles on the clock.
3. I got my first dog Shinook during lockdown, Simba 2 years later and finally poppy when I met Danielle.
4. Outside of work & family life I spend my time growing veg & flowers, at airsoft events, travelling a little, reading or at my weekly TaeKwonDo sessions.
5. despite spending most of my working life in bars & nightclubs, I ironically no longer drink alcohol, I think & hope I’m fun enough without it 😁
What’s the point of this post ?
To put a face to the business, and to reassure you it’s not a factory half way around the globe churning out low quality cheap products with zero customer aftercare, but rather a young(ish) Scottish lad making every structure from scratch by hand. From hand picking the timber to final install making things fit just right and ensuring you’re happy with the final product before departing.
You know my name, my number and where to find me should you have any post install issues. If that doesn’t inspire confidence in purchasing from me, I’m not quite sure what will 😅
