The consummate professional and consummate joker, when not in the office he can be found shouting ‘fore’ on the golf course or travelling the world. There's nothing Ian loves more than a holiday (don’t tell Mrs Manning)!




Frankie Fyfe

Technical Adviser

With over 10 years experience delivering exceptional customer service, Mary Poppins would be hard pressed not to award Frankie a gold star for her ‘cheery disposition’, or should that be steely disposition?

When she’s not sat behind a desk, she’s also been known to sit behind the wheel of a Mini Cooper. A former winner of a British Rallycross Championship no less!

Mike is a seasoned sales expert with over 35 years of experience. He takes great pride in building strong relationships with clients, understanding their needs and delivering the best solutions to their unwanted noise issues.
