Co-founder and COO at Kanda. I have vast experience in the home remodelling sector after running an electrical contracting business for 10 years. This was the driving force behind the idea for Kanda, after losing out on jobs to bigger companies that could get credit facilities for there customers that just weren't available for my own company.
