A TIMBER window renovation specialist has been recognised for a decade of service.

Robert Wood, aged 30, has worked for local firm Ventrolla Hereford, Worcester and South Wales since he started as a trainee in 2001.

Over the last decade he has leant his expertise to Worcester’s Guildhall, the Park View Apartments, Malvern, and more than 20 vicarages owned by the Worcester Diocese.

After receiving a long service award and an all-expenses paid London theatre trip from Ventrolla owner Geoff Walsh, Mr Wood said: “My enjoyment stems from the variety of work I get involved in. From Edwardian terraced houses to grand Georgian country mansions, every project offers a new challenge.”
