Shawn Gates’s general dogsbody and trip organiser. The groups lives are in my hands, but do not panic. Those I have worked with continue to be nervous that anything I plan will actually happen to time and budget, but for more important things away from work I know my priorities!
Shawn Gates
He will have you believe that he has organised this (and every other) trip. As ever he loves to try exotic foreign food (such as vegetables) and beer (Budweiser or Budvaar not allowed!) so please encourage this at all times!
Mark Cooper
Despite being a Gooner, he is not too bad. I still have him down as person with the lifestyle least likely to require him to join these trips as they are almost a continuum of his Monday to Friday existence away from home. However, in today’s world there seems to be more English peeps at our destinations than the average food production facility.
Carl Chapman
No longer the baby of the trip, and still welcome even after he emigrated to not quite the darkest bit of Wales. I think they must brain washed him, its been a while since that move now.
Billy Wright
After foolishly getting married for a 3rd time, is the recent proud father of a baby boy. 3 months without proper sleep reminds him why these trips are so important.
Steve Roberts
After scaring us all into thinking that maybe we are not young and indestructible still , has overcome recent health troubles and now passed fit to fly (hope it’s not too soon to take the piss, mate!).
Chris Grist
Now far from a a “newbie” but still our youngest member. AKA West Ham Chris, guaranteed to be first on the dance floor or karaoke microphone.
Jeff Cousins
A fellow Lloyds Bank contractor of old. As he is still working there again please do point out, when he is whinging, that it was his choice.
