MONTEUM - Key Persons

Jim Partridge: In 1957, as a young lad, Jim learnt to fish on Shoreham Beach. He was soon found to be selling his "Catch of the Day" from his bicycle basket. Jim established Monteum in 1974, and for a few years we operated from the back of his small house on Shoreham Beach. In 1983 Jim bought the quayside at Fisherman's Wharf and gave Monteum a new home (and his family back theirs). Jim is an active committee member of Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) as well as the Shellfish Association of Great Britain Crustacean committee.

Pete Huxtable joined forces with Jim Partridge in 1981 creating a dynamic duo and forming the backbone that has remained Monteum to this day. Pete runs pretty much everything. Back in 2005 Pete was awarded an MBE by HRH Her Majesty The Queen for his work and devotion to the RNLI and Shoreham Lifeboat. We could not be prouder to have him dominating our helm.

Yvonne, Yvonne joined Monteum in 2014 taking care of our accounts. She has a wealth of experience and brings a much needed feminine touch to our office.
