Debbie Chalk
Business Owner / Accounts / Vinny’s Mum (PJW-Peter and Jean Wales’ Daughter)
Joined the business straight from school, and although she might not look it, that was over 40 years ago.
A level-headed businesswoman, she prefers the term ‘experiment’ as opposed to ‘risk’.
Appreciates, but more importantly enjoys some of the ‘old school’ ways of doing things.
Successfully maintained a profitable business for all these years. Credits this to focusing on PJW, and not seeing other businesses as competition.
A mother of three (4 if you count Max the German Shephard in 2018), the eldest being Vinny, who has brought the business into the 21st century, and continues to build strong business relationships and diversify into new markets.

Re-joined the business in 2015 after spending 2.5 years on CEF’s Aspire Management program.
Has always been involved in the business, from counting seals and wire 30 years ago!
A sponge for knowledge, he has been at the forefront of many significant business changes, including:
transferring from handwritten to computerized paperwork
going from manual to computerized card payments
upgrading from a traditional phone line to VOIP phone system
completely changing the business from a refurbishment enterprise to a multi-utility, OEM, and solutions-based distribution and installation business.
Expanding into a 2nd unit, and incorporating a state-of-the-art stock management system (due Spring 2023)
Loves the face-to-face aspect of the business, understanding the importance of personally meeting clients, seeing projects in real life, and understanding a client’s needs.
