Experience in the glass industry began for Bill George in 1969. Starting on the order desk, Bill was able to learn the various phases of window sales, order technique, and installation methods. After a transfer and promotion to an Office Manager, Bill was also able to get a grasp on purchasing, invoicing, inventory control, and scheduling. After his office manager stint, Bill went on to Production Management where he was responsible for receiving all the sales orders and converting them into cutting lists to be put in production. Then, in 1977, Bill started with Marysville Glass, where he quickly became General Manager and he oversaw accounts payable/receivable, personnel, scheduling, advertising, budget preparation, outside sales, and bid preparations. Bill then took a commercial estimating position at another company where his responsibilities included calling general contractors and plan centers, developing estimated for reviews, and job costing. Once the jobs commenced, Bill was accountable for purchasing, scheduling and invoicing. In the fall of 1987, Bill opened his own business, General Storefronts. Currently, Bill does the majority of the estimating for General Storefronts and handles architectural questions and conflicts.
