About Rob Farmer

About Me
Since joining the company, my focus has been on strengthening customer relationships and supporting projects from start to finish. I’ve expanded my expertise in the ironmongery industry, achieving a Diploma in Fire Doors (Dip FD) and Registered Architectural Ironmonger status (Reg AI). This knowledge allows me to confidently advise both current and potential customers on their project requirements. I work closely with architects and contractors to create complete specifications and ironmongery schedules, ensuring design intent is met while complying with all relevant building standards and regulations. Across the company, I collaborate with all teams to deliver an excellent service right through to project completion.

Favourite project or client you’ve worked with and why
The Royal Grammar School – This prestigious project demanded a specification that combined high-end finishes with durability for a busy educational environment. It required two separate finishes in different areas of the school, and in some cases, different finishes on each side of a door leaf. We coordinated with multiple manufacturers to ensure all design requirements were met, providing the client and our customer with solutions that were a perfect fit.

Favourite Product/Finish
My favourite finish is definitely PVD bronze, such as on a lever handle with a rose or a pull handle. It not only offers a rich, deep colour but also benefits from the durability of PVD technology, helping extend the life of the build.
