Joined FORT In: June 2023

Having lived in Marlborough for 12 years I have key knowledge of the local area, most importantly about the access issues related to larger vehicles, like our tipper lorries. Many of you may already recognise my from my families long established aggregate business in Marlborough - Kington Aggregates. In June, we joined the FORT team bringing along myself, my brother David and a colleague of ours called Nick making the family larger by 3!

Aside from work I’m a keen lover of gin, having my own special gin fridge makes all the difference in the taste. This ensures it’s kept at the perfect temperature ready for when its required (usually after a long shift at FORT). My ultimate happiness is when myself and my fiancé are travelling the world, finding quirky accommodations and discovering the many gins made in different parts of the world. I also love to get my hands dirty… in pea shingle and most other aggregates. If you have a question about aggregates, I’m happy to help!

When I’m away from FORT, you can find me weaving baskets at Avebury Stone Circle surrounded by powerful crystals and fairies encouraging me to continue with my summer solstice accurately. The connection I have with nature (ie, tree hugging) is stronger than it is with ballast stored in our yard.

Lucky for me, my desk is situated a spacious 1.5meters from Matt’s desk, which has its perks. Such as witnessing the many FORT pranks that happen during the day or hearing Matt’s fantastic customer service skills when discussing plans to our customers. I’d say I’ve settled in nicely with the FORT team and again, be sure to get in touch for your aggregate orders!
