Away from the office John enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two adult children, trainee son-in-law and grandson. He has a passion for Sailing and being born and bred in Brightlingsea when not in his office will usually be found on his boat or somewhere near the water!  When not on the water he will happily talk boats with anyone for hours!

Annette came to work alongside her husband John over 20 years ago, purely in an administrative capacity at first, but over the years she has become integral to the smooth functioning of the business. ​She now attends to all of the finances in the business alongside overseeing John's case administration and diary.

​

Outside of office hours, she enjoys an evening out at the Theatre, day trips to National Trust properties, sunny beach holidays in Crete and of course sailing around Essex with John (there's a surprise!). Not forgetting spending as much time as possible with her adored grandson!
