SANDERSTEADS - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- UK & International Move Consultant
I've been part of the Sandersteads team since 2004, working in sales, a role I love as it allows me to meet new people. I work as a UK & international move consultant, a specialist in UK, international and commercial moves, an HGV 7.5-ton driver and an international CPC holder.
Since 2011 I've been married to Kate and we have three children together. Away from work I enjoy staying active and cycle, run and ride motorbikes for fun.
I work part time at Sandersteads as an administrator dealing with general admin, accounts, post and kitchen duties- I make the tea!
I'm married to Lyn and we have two children, four grandchildren and our dog, Buddy. My hobbies include reading and watching my favourite football team, Crystal Palace.
I've spent my entire working life at Sandersteads, in fact, I've been involved in the business since I was in nappies!
Nine years ago I took on a full-time role starting in admin and then onto my current role. Now, I'm responsible for coordinating sales diaries, quoting on overseas moves and handling accounts with kitchen and carpet companies with storage and deliveries. As well as this, I'm an active member of the BAR Young Movers organisation working as a committee member.
I live with my dad and boyfriend and own two dogs who l love dearly. I spoil them as if they were my own children!
I don't have too many hobbies but do love socialising with my friends over dinner or drinks. I also enjoy shopping but that is probably an obsession more than a hobby!
Over the years I've gained a whole host of qualifications and accreditations in the industry, including being an International CPC Holder. I'm a UK & international move consultant, specialist officer & commercial move consultant and also have my HGV Class 1 license.
Since 1983 I've been married to Trish and together we have two children, three grandchildren and two dogs. Away from work I love travelling and have a home in the south of France. Trish and I also own a camper van which we often take around the UK and Europe.
I've worked full time for Sanderstead for 40 years, joining the firm in 1981 as a porter. From here, I worked my way through the company, working first as a non HGV driver, before moving onto HGV trucks, export and specialist packaging and forklifts (reach and counterbalance). Throughout my time with the company, I've trained in all aspects of manual moving and I'm fully accredited with qualifications from CRE, OCRM, HCRM, ICRM which means I have an international CPC qualification.
As well as this, I've worked as the British Association of Removers' Area Chairman for the south-east for many years. I've also worked as a board director for Britannia Movers International PLC and spent two years with BAR Services.
Away from work, I was married to Jules for 25 years and together we had three beautiful children before she sadly passed away in August 2015. I don't have any grandchildren yet, but I do have two very demanding dogs who occupy my time!
I have a passion for cars, motorbikes, fine timepieces and football (my team is Crystal Palace). I love most sports (other than cricket) including martial arts and like to spend my time with great food and drink with my friends.
I work as the operations manager here at Sandersteads, overseeing all areas of the business. Together, me and my wife Sharon have two children and have also become foster carers for two others. We also own a dog named Riley who keeps us busy!
In my spare time, I can be found at the driving range or on the greens playing golf and I also enjoy watching volleyball.
