With my wife Jo and father-in-law Jerry as fellow founders, delivering outstanding customer service is my priority. Cultivating enduring relationships with loyal customers is crucial.

I strive to innovate and keep customers at the heart of our offerings. Seeing our team, facilities, and nationwide customer base thrive brings immense pride, given our modest origins in Jerry's garage since 1995.

I have recently moved to ‘not so sunny’ Scarborough from ‘smoggy land’ Middlesborough. I am very happy to be a part of Spectrum and the great team we have. I am looking forward to many years in my new role as warehouse coordinator and the opportunities that will come. I have worked in warehousing for the past 8 years, so I am hoping to bring a fresh, new perspective to the Spectrum warehouse to ensure its smooth and efficient functioning.

I am a long-term serving member of the Spectrum family and it's something I very much enjoy. My role starts at the point of picking products and follows all the way through until they are delivered to our customers, with a smile.

I take great pride in my customer service skills, which I believe is really important in customer facing roles.
