Director at Unique Window Services, Shane Grice begins by revealing the firm’s remarkable client portfolio, its background and his own wealth of knowledge and industry experience which has helped the firm become second to none. “Our client portfolio showcases residential homes, schools, commercial offices, high rises, shopping centres and warehouses. Our range of products promotes passive ventilation which dramatically reduces costs and a building’s carbon footprint. “Unique Window Services (UWS) has been in operation in QLD for over 50 years. I completed my glazing apprenticeship, with a small yet reputable family business in 1989. On completion of my apprenticeship, I moved onto work for a large well known window company. Two years later, at 22 years of age, I decided to become self-employed specialising in commercial shopfront installations. In 1996, I purchased UWS from a husband and wife team. Starting with only myself as an employee, today the business has grown to 15 staff members and that figure is climbing. “With my wealth of knowledge and industry experience, I have built UWS to be a highly regarded, honest and reliable company. All new employees undergo relevant industry training which I instruct, thus passing on my extensive skills. I believe that the key to UWS success is keeping active in the industry; indeed, I install equipment, provide quotes for jobs and assist my team on day to day projects. “With a strong focus on personable service and high quality products, I truly believe that UWS is second to none. If you are looking for window automation in your next project, you have come to the right place. Window automation can be tailored to suit individual projects, with each project being unique in its own design.” But what makes UWS stand out amongst the rest, is the option to ‘supply only’ or ‘supply and install’ the firm’s product. Shane elaborates this point for us and provides further insights into their exciting offerings. “Projects stretch from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and as far as Perth and the Northern Territory. We have recently supplied window automation products to the Maldives and New Zealand. We are not limited to location. We have a huge range of products to suit any type of building, whether that be a high rise multi story residential right down to school classrooms. “Our smoke and natural ventilation control systems will not only compliment any ESD project, but will surely make them stand out. Our flagship product being the SE Controls system, is the most feature packed window automation system available in the whole world. “Finally, I would like to underline that we pride ourselves on being providers of expert advice, reputable service, superior products and the highest level of quality workmanship. Unique Window Services is a Queensland based company that has made supplying and installing window control equipment our specialty for over 20 years.” Company: Unique Window Services Name: Shane Grice Email: [email protected] Web Address: uniquewindowservices.com Address: 1/45 Kingtel Place, Geebung, QLD 4034 Australia Telephone: +61 (07) 3265 5771 1701AP31
