Robert Dean (left) started plastering at 18 with Cubbit Gotts in 1977, plastering his first site at the executive areas of Portman Road, Ipswich Town’s home ground. Robert gained a wealth of experience working around Europe before returning to England to start a family with his wife, Lesley. Following years of hard work by Robert and Lesley, by 1995, they were becoming inundated with work and looking for extra hands.
With plastering such a big part of family life, all four sons took great interest and joined the team straight from school. Robert has now stepped back from day-to-day office duties but continues to work in a quality control capacity, ensuring we are always striving for the highest standards.
