Darren Willmott

Founder & Director

I have been employed in the construction industry since completing my full-time education in 1991. At the age of 48, I have undertaken various roles, primarily specialising in carpentry.


In 2003, I made the decision to enhance my skills and pursue further education in the United States. During my time there, I obtained a Computer Science Degree in CAD design from Keiser University in Melbourne, Florida. This three-year degree was successfully completed with outstanding merit. While in Florida, I also contributed to the design department of one of the state's prominent home builders.


Upon returning to England in 2006, I have been involved in diverse construction contracts and have worked for one of the largest timber window companies in the south. In 2012, I established and currently manage our family business, Sussex Sash, in collaboration with my father, Barry. Both of us now reside on the Isle of Wight, possessing a genuine expertise in timber restoration, encompassing all aspects of sash window and glazed joinery repair and replication.


Notably, I personally oversaw our FENSA registration, hold a construction CSCS health and safety card, and recently completed an emergency first aid at work course in September 2023.
