A lifelong sailor in Mirror’s, Topper’s, RS200, and any class with an active social calendar as well as SUPing and surfing.

Joanne

A born worker with impressive drive and motivation. Ask Joanne where anything is, and she’ll know exactly. Move anything or put it away and this creates confusion “Tools are for working with, Not sitting in a cupboard”.

Perfecting sailmaking, upholstery, pop top roofs and all the not so straight forward jobs is where Joanne excels. Away from work Joanne can still be found sewing and dressmaking, creating art, DIY. 

Irina

We used to have a regular bake off competition at work but Irina’s level of baking was so high it was embarrassing turning up with our efforts.

Irina’s manufacturing and sewing is exactly the same as her baking, her standards are high and her ability to plan and map out 3 dimensional shapes from a flat piece of material is amazing.

Loves: Baking, a good novel and being Grandma

Marleen

AKA Granma or Shortie and the one you go to if you need a plaster.

A sewing and taping clothing specialist. Diligent and meticulous, very little gets past Marleen. If anything is untoward you certainly find out about it, what 

Loves; Going to the pub, darts, watching football, quizzes, a ‘few’ drinks. Also a devoted Granma who enjoys a novel if ever there is time.

Kalee

The newest addition to the team joining in 2020. A key member of the factory production Kaley’s skills are extensive making her a brilliant all rounder.
 
Attracts fluffy animals, seemingly irresistible to them. Kaley currently has a dog, a cat and rabbit.
She is obsessed with Stitch off of Lilo & Stitch, loves a tattoo and almost has a full sleeve - yes Stitch is included.

Neil

Originally worked in a company next door, he’s now been onboard for over a decade.
A serial fiddler Neil can turn his hand to anything, normally found preparing trailers & trolleys, working on boats, campervans, in the paint shop or doing a crossword on his break.
 
When not at work Neil can be found doing much the same at home as his serial fiddling is perfectly suited to DIY. 
Is at his happiest with a power tool in his hand and his dogs by his side.

 

Graham

A wealth of experience manufacturing, fabricating, building and bespoke projects. Graham can be found in the Workshop, Factory or Welding shop.

A genuine Geordie he has been with the Team for well over a decade, he cycles to work in any weather calling in to check his Mam on the way.

When not as work he’ll be down the allotment or looking after his Pigeons
