The Life of Brian

November 28 2008

When Professional Builder reader Brian Jenner bought a limited edition tube of Gripfill earlier this year, he never imagined that a few months later he would be gracing the pages of his favourite mag with a group of scantily clad ladies!

Yes, Brian Jenner was the lucky winner of Gripfill's on-pack competition to star alongside G-Force on location at a recent photo shoot. The jammy chap also enjoyed dinner, a West End show, a night in a top hotel and a year's supply of Gripfill, courtesy of Gripfill.

So, the team at PB thought it was only right to have a chat with Lucky Brian and find out what it's like to get up close and personal with the girls for a day!

Winning text: Any nook or cranny, filling in the cracks; Gripfill works whilst I relax!

So tell us, did meeting G-Force live up to expectations?!I had such a fantastic time. The shoot was great. Believe it or not, I was a bit nervous about having three young girls draped across me but they really put me at ease! They kept teasing me mercilessly but as you can probably tell from the photos, it didn't take me long to get into my stride!

Where did the shoot take place?
It was at a studio in Peckham. The shoot lasted most of the day and then in the evening, I went to see a show, Blood Brothers, and out for dinner with members of the Gripfill team and my wife Tracy of course - not the girls!

You own your own business. Is that right?
Yes, I've been running my own building company, Brian Jenner Builders, for over 40 years now. It involves long hours as I'm often on site by 6.30am but I really enjoy it. My colleagues and I take pride in doing a good job for our customers.

So back to Gripfill, you obviously use the product as you entered the competition.
Yes, I do use Gripfill. In fact, I get through several tubes a week. It's tried and tested, really reliable and does a great job so I won't use anything else. I use if for fixing panelling, filling cracks and many other applications.

Did you think you would win?
No! I was really shocked when I got the call, and so was my wife! We went together and we both had such a fantastic time, so thank you Gripfill!

And what do your colleagues think about you winning the top prize?
They're Gripfill Green with envy!

And so are we! Thanks Brian! So for the rest of us, who can only dream, take a look at some of the outtake shots from the day Brian met the Gripfill Girls.
