\u201cI grew up in Dorchester, went to school there, but didn\u2019t behave myself all the time. There was a new fire station being built, so I laboured there for a while. That\u2019s when I first found out I wasn\u2019t very good working with my hands. So then I worked as an electrical apprentice and discovered I really wasn\u2019t very good with my hands. The tiles and flooring work that came afterwards showed me I definitely wasn\u2019t good with my hands, so went to work in an Off License\u201d, reminisces Nathan Tuck, owner of Wyvern Fireplaces in Dorchester.<\/p>\n
It was working in the Off License that Nathan found his true calling in Sales. He was so good he caught the eye of the owner of the fireplace manufacture workshop nearby and was offered a job selling fireplaces. As time progressed and Nathan\u2019s obvious flair for sales was let loose, he was given the opportunity to buy into the business and really set his mark. Later still, Nathan bought the original owner out when he retired. He has retained most of the original staff from decades ago who work in the manufacturing plant behind the scenes. Now Wyvern Fireplaces is also in Yeovil and has a plethora of customers, with the growth of the business mostly down to word of mouth and Nathan\u2019s cheeky banter.<\/p>\n
In the run up to winter and through to Christmas, Nathan works long hours, six or seven days a week, finding it difficult to turn business down. But when the summer hits, Nathan will often pick his daughter Olivia up from school and shoot straight down to the beach. He loves the sea and coastal paths, finding it calms him after a stressful day. Having his daughter and wife Grace makes Nathan realise what he\u2019s working so hard for, \u201cif there\u2019s no-one to spend it on what\u2019s the point\u201d he grins.<\/p>\n
