Suzanne

Marina
client services

Suzanne joined us in March 2019 having relocated from Wiltshire. She works part time and has a background in retail and hospitality. After working in a large, national retail outlet, she was attracted to the marina because it was a family run business and located in the stunning Cheshire countryside, which was the icing on the cake…and, coincidentally, she does make wonderful cakes herself. When not baking cakes for the staff, Suzanne enjoys time with her family and craft projects.

Malcolm

Malcolm joined the Swanley Bridge Marina team in 2010 having come from a background in narrowboats and engineering. Malcolm has worked with narrowboats for over 40 years and has a wealth of knowledge and friends in the industry.
