A former panel beater from Hammerwich has beaten the retreat from his old career and is now his own boss in charge of the Mac Tools territory for Walsall.
Spencer Pallett’s new role takes him all over the area calling on garages and dealerships as a dealer for Mac Tools, a business which supplies tools and equipment to the automotive industry.
Spencer, who lives in Hammerwich with his wife Maria and their two children, Lincoln, six, and Hudson, three, says his fledgling business can only get bigger and better. Spencer, 36, knew about Mac Tools through his local dealer, and when his knees begun playing up as the years on the shop floor started taking their toll, he decided on a career change.
He is learning quickly how to be a businessman. “I never thought that I would be doing anything like this, I’m learning all the time, and there’s still a lot of questions, but it has been great so far. The support I receive from Mac Tools head office is excellent. “It’s been a really good start, and I know that it can only get bigger and better. It’s already starting to do that, with more sales coming in.
“I haven’t stopped working since I started this. Doing everything for the first time takes time but I’m loving every minute.”
Paul Clegg, Mac Tools recruitment manager, welcomed Spencer to the business. He said: “I am delighted that Spencer has decided to join Mac Tools. He has an excellent work ethic and brings a wealth of industry knowledge with him. We wish him every success for the future and look forward to helping him develop and grow his business.”
