Our Heritage

Managing Director Rick Robinson is one of the original family members that set up Alexander Windows Ltd back in 1991. In that time as Sales and Marketing Director, he revolutionised the way that uPVC windows and doors were sold to domestic customers. Fully detailed written quotes, no-pressure selling and unique after sales care, quickly earned them a great respect and reputation.

Another family owned and run business, this time with his wife Melissa, JLeaf Solar’s customers and referrals can expect to enjoy the same level of service in this fantastic new industry. It’s a bit of a technical minefield but customers can trust JLeaf Solar Ltd to safely lead them through to delivery of the most cost effective yet financially rewarding system for their home.

The soppy bit…What’s in a name?

Starting a new business after a 20 year track record is fairly straight forward, isn’t it?  The tricky bit was naming the business something that was memorable, had meaning and wasn’t too cheesy!

Rick and Melissa Robinson have been blessed with a total of 5 children and have always been family driven. In age order: Johanna, Emily, Alice, Francesca and Liam – 4 girls and a boy. Hmmm, how can we incorporate them into our business name?

JEALF?…. JEFAL?…. FEALJ?

JLeaf? Ahhh, that’s it, perfect! It sort of fits very well, leaf is green and has environmental undertones, yes it works!
