Meet the crew

 Ben has been running Haslar with a smile for donkey's years. He started his working life shuffling across the English Channel and Bay of Biscay working on board P&O ferries, fresh from graduating with degree in Maritime Studies and Water Based Leisure Management (his first year in 1994/5 was the last year Solent University based their maritime faculty in Warsash). 

Ben loves being out on the water, and out in the great outdoors. He loves his cycling (and has clocked up over 2,000 miles in Europe and Russia).  At home, with his wife and two daughters, he loves playing different guitar styles from blues to jazz, and lately can be heard working on his picado with his flamenco guitar.

Ben is a major force behind the sustainability goals in boatfolk and our annual 'big green bike ride', which always involves more hills than is strictly necessary!  

Jordan will always be seen with a smile on his face and ever willing to help others. If you need something done Jordan's your man. In his relatively short time Jordan has gone from Marina Assistant at East Cowes to Berthing Master, Senior Berthing Master and now Assistant Manager at Haslar. 

When not working you'll catch Bex running her own fishing charter company (excuse the pun!) - Kelley's Hero and mothering her two enthusiastic boat loving children. Bex is an Advanced Powerboat Instructor and Motor Crusing Instructor.  In her very little spare time Bex enjoys singing and playing the guitar along with many other musical intruments. Irish and Scottish music being her favourite!

You will often see Gary buzzing back and forth on his bright green golf cart and generally being busy fixing stuff across our five south coast marinas. Gary is the man who has worked wonders in the  nine shower cubicles on the Lightship , the complete rebuild of the existing  G block and is currently working hard on the new  facilities to be fitted on the opposite side of G pontoon to suppliment the current ones .   In his spare time, Gary enjoys nothing more than travelling across the UK and Europe in his motorhome.

Ever been in one of our sparkling washrooms and heard someone singing? It’s probably Ian serenading his mop and bucket! Like Emma, Ian also started his life at Haslar working between the two on-site restaurants, then joined our team a couple years later. Not only has he got a great voice, he’s not bad at busting out a few dance moves too!
