Darryl Leonard Marina

"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"! Darryl is trained in First aid, Fire Safety and River Safety.

Michelle Thompson

Job Titles:
  • Administrator
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.
