What does Graeme say about Ace?

We have built up a great team of people here at Ace Furniture and its always nice to walk into work and have that family feel. I always get a great sense of satisfaction when we complete an order and you see it develop from a drawing to a completed product, loaded on the vehicle ready for delivery.

In my experience Ace Furniture always try to go the extra mile, they offer a great range of products, are really good people to deal with and offer a service to match the high quality of its products.

When you need a company to deliver, give us a try.

Graeme’s Fun Fact?

I have a passion or some may call addiction for training, I enjoy obstacle runs and have taken part in many Tough Mudder races. Getting up at 5am every day for a quick 5k ready for a day of work and  training after work also in the gym.

These all help for my second passion for eating and socialising!!

I like to play golf and I love to paint, I am good at one but rubbish at the other! One of my paintings has featured in a calendar so you guessed it golf is just good exercise!
