Alcoil has been owned and operated by a single family since 1991. It makes a difference. Meet the team.
Owner, racing enthusiast, Richmond supporter, grandmother, and innovator, Gill manages day-to-day operations at Alcoil. After a 20-year career as a primary school teacher, Gill, along with her husband David, reinvented herself as guttering expert.
Enthusiastic builders and renovators, the Robbins are wiling to go to extremes in order to get best outcomes. Eager to make use of technical advances, they elected to insulate one home using polystyrene blocks filled with concrete. Unfortunately, they were so ahead of the curve that the pumps traditionally used for pouring concrete had not yet been calibrated to work with the blocks (which kept exploding under the pressure!). Undeterred, the Robbins proceeded, filling each individual block by hand - using empty ice cream buckets! A characteristic display of determination and innovation, in equal measure.
Owner, estimator and the ‘Encyclopaedia Of Guttering’, David meets clients when he comes out to give them a quote. Aside from service in the Air Force, David has spent his entire career in the building industry, specialising in gutters for the last 22 years. In that time, he’s seen it all and is Alcoil’s go-to-guy for unique and challenging cases. He always has the answer. When he’s not visiting clients, he’s building an airplane, at home, in one of his four sheds. Look forward to meeting David ‘Four Sheds’ Robbins.
Owner and systems guru, Wendy is also the face of Alcoil for clients who come into the office. She is extremely informed, friendly, and helpful – especially if you barrack for Richmond! Wendy has been in the business for 16 years, and her product knowledge is exceptional. True to the Alcoil ethos of innovation, Wendy created the company’s inventory software when off-the-shelf options weren’t up to scratch. With two tiny tigers on her desk, and her dog, Riley, underneath, Wendy runs Alcoil’s system and front desk like no one else can.
Owner and manufacturing expert, David is the ‘hands on’ partner. If you buy a product from Alcoil, he’s handled it, from manufacturing all the way through to delivery. Another Alcoil do-er, David lets his work speak for him. When he’s not bending steel to his will, he can be found restoring cars out the back of the Alcoil facilities.
