MEET THE TEAM
Tracey Simmonds
The brains of the business, Tracey has worked in customer service and finance roles in the motor, aviation and marine industries and brings with her a wealth of experience. Always happy to help, she is the organizer at home and in the office, so if you ever want to know what’s going on, Tracey is the one to ask! During the mowing season, Tracey is usually attached to a strimmer or her new favourite toy, the Boomer tractor and flail!
Duncan Simmonds
Having worked and played with boats for longer than he can remember, Duncan is the ‘go to’ person for boating related enquiries. But, although he has many years boating experience, he can’t always be trusted to make a safe landing without the help of his rope girls, who have rescued a bad approach on numerous occasions (he’s quite happy being the thorn between two roses!).
Emma Tiley
Tracey’s daughter and Buddy’s mummy, Emma began life at the marina as a part-time grounds’ person, caretaker, and general dog’s body while she was still at school. Since joining full-time in 2018, she has followed an apprenticeship while getting to grips with all the other tasks expected of a marina person, which she now handles comfortably along with looking after her son Buddy and two horses!
Barbara Bruce
We welcomed Barbara to the team during the summer of 2023 to help with office admin, organise the Cabin and look after the toilet and shower block, all of which she has taken full control of and appears to really enjoy! Many of our customers will already know Barbara and Ian who have moored at the marina since 2018 and now own a lovely wide beam called ‘Eutopia’. In her spare time, Barbara is a skilled seamstress and enjoys walking their dog ‘Bella.
