Meet the team

Corin - Managing Director

  • Mountain biking in Friston Forest, windsurfing at the beach or researching menus for a delicious meal somewhere!

  • I think I would like to be a surgeon, so I can see the joy on a families face when I tell them that the surgery I performed on a loved one went well and that they would live for years to come.

Derek - Director

  • Now that would be telling! I'm sure Michael B Jordan is a nice person though!

Amy - General Manager

  • If I could pick a couple I would say, for a family holiday destination, we love Spain, for the culture, great food, vast beaches. As a must visit destination, South Africa - particularly the Garden Route for its scenery and landscape, the vibrant city of Cape Town and Kruger National Park for a Safari!  

Gavin - Commercial Manager

  • One of my dream holiday destinations would be Cappadocia in Turkey because it looks beautiful, and I would love to see all the hot air balloons.

Chelsie - Operations Coordinator

  • I’ve had to think hard about this one, to be honest, as I have more than one favourite movie! Les Misérables. My appreciation for the film is influenced by the rags-to-riches story line, compelling characters and impactful music.

Chas - Head of Renewables

  • If a series of unfortunate events concluding in my being on death row, the only option for a last meal unless I were in Texas where I wouldn't get a choice, would be a steak and ale pie with thick onion gravy, mash potatoes and peas!

Rob - Project Manager

  • Hands down Christmas lighting! Being a seasoned European Lighting Fanatic, I love decorating my house every year with lights synchronised to music.

Matthew - Estimator

  • With me it has to be football related, I would like to be famous for scoring the last minute winner for England in a World Cup final.

Josh - Trainee Project Manager

  • I would choose the ability to control time, as it would give me the opportunity to re-wind to certain moments, rectify mistakes and even fast-forward to the future!

Amy - Accounts

  • Get up early and take my dogs over to the Harbour for a nice long walk and hopefully catch a glimpse of the seals. Then either go out for a roast dinner or make my own with all the trimmings. I like to end the day with a good movie!

Crystal - Accounts

  • It would have to be, I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas! I love Christmas so much and it winds everyone else up!

Graeme - Supervisor

  • My go to song would have to be Dolly Parton 9-5...I think it's very fitting!

Cerys - Renewables Administrator

  • It would have to be my husband!

Chris - Office Administrator

  • It would have to be Austria, it’s a special place to me and my family where we’ve made lots of memories over the years.

Katherine - Administration Lead
