"I started my time at Shepperton Marina as the Office Administrator and over the last five years have worked up to my current position. I have worked in marina's for the past 17 years and am extremely passionate about the industry. I believe Shepperton Marina - being a family run business - offers the right balance of professionalism with a strong feel of a friendly / family environment. Growing up by the river and being constantly around boats from a young age, I have an extensive knowledge of the local area and enjoy discussing with our customers their local boat trips and experiences. When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family, and enjoy cruising up and down the Thames on our boat".

I joined Shepperton Marina in August 2024 and was immediately drawn to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Both the staff and fellow moorers have made me feel right at home. With experience working as an administrator for various marinas along the Thames since 2017, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the marine industry and continue to learn and grow within it. Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my family.

I have recently taken the helm as Boat Sales Manager for Boat Showrooms, which is very exciting indeed. So a bit about me...... I have spent my entire career in customer facing sales roles, firstly for a decade in the motor industry and for the past 8 years in the marine industry, representing a number of highly desirable brands, developing long standing relationships and helping to make peoples aspirations and dreams become reality. It's a privilege to begin my next chapter with Boat Showrooms, one of the longest standing and most highly respected names in the marine sector.
I joined the administration team in July 2023 having spent over twenty years as a Custody Officer. As ‘front of house’ I am here to meet and greet you when you visit the Marina office, whether that is for support or purely to say ‘hello’. I do not have a Marine background but wanted a change of career and an opportunity to develop new skills. I have learnt so much about the River already and enjoy researching about different makes and models of boats.

"I have worked for Shepperton Marina since April 2008. Before that I worked on the river at Gibbs Marine and at Walton Marina. My role within Shepperton Marina is Marina Services; I deal with the day-to-day running of the marina including dealing with the craning department and the hard standing. I have worked on or around the River Thames for the past 25 years; I love everything about the river, from being on it or sometimes in it"!

"Shepperton Marina is prized for its tranquil location, quality facilities and close proximity to historical landmarks like Hampton Court, the hustle and bustle of Richmond and Kingston and is only three locks away from the tidal Thames. I started boating on the Thames in the late ‘60’s and have been in the marine business ever since. As well as the Thames I have experience of waters around the UK and the Mediterranean. I look forward to meeting and advising both new purchasers and owners alike. Our mission at Shepperton Marina is to ensure that we have a wide selection of well presented boats available for sale that will satisfy even the most discerning clients. We look forward to welcoming you to Shepperton in the near future".

Growing up with a local lockkeeper as a father, I’ve spent my life on and around the river—it’s truly in my blood.
