Robert

Brackstone

Managing Director
  • LinkedIn

Heart of the business, current ESSA Chairman and a keen volunteer triathlon coach, Rob has a passion for giving back to the local community wherever possible. Can be found cycling or swimming before most of us even think about getting out of bed. We suspect he may be semi-aquatic. Ever the optimist and expert juggler, client relationships are his forte.

The tall one. No nonsense. Got an idea or want something built? He knows exactly how to make it - on time, on budget and bang on specification.

Ed Bailey

Operations Manager
  • LinkedIn

Meticulous planner, never misses a detail. Very brainy. Data Protection expert with 3 law degrees. Do not mess with his logistics & personnel arrangements, or there will be trouble. Multitalented, Ed has experience in both the office and on the bench. It's safe to say everyone in the workshop seems quite jealous of his fancy tools.
