Joined FORT In: January 2020

Almost everyone that deals with FORT will know me, as I’m in charge of the phone getting answered, orders getting taken and deliveries going out the door. Having started out at Marlborough Building Supplies with Patrick Kiely, some could say that he is my Obi-Wan; teaching me the ways that I still use today.

Most of you will know that I’m a big Star Wars fan, but something you may not know is that I collect Star Wars Lego sets and attend Star Wars conventions annually where I can dress up and hang out with like-minded folks. The best costume I’ve used is the Ewok, I feel close to their species both during normal life and when at a convention.

Outside of work (and Star Wars) I’m a keen painter, I love to take the kids on holidays to far flung places like Warminster or Tidworth (I visited over 5 counties in the past few years) and some of you will have seen me walking my dog around the Pewsey area, usually with a pie and chips that I get to keep my hands warm.

Finally, it’s great that so many of you see me as the face of FORT and we’ll be running a social media campaign to see how many selfies we can get posted with a customer and me together, so next time you’re in the shop, or even out and about stop me and get a selfie! Make sure to send your selfies in to FORT using #CraigTheMainMan.
