I came ashore following the birth of my daughter, Jane and worked on the ferries in Dover and Folkestone. This was followed by a period as Superintendent in Miami (Sea Containers), Holyhead and Folkestone. After this I moved onto Harwich International Port as Operations and Marketing Manager finally becoming General Manager. I took early retirement in January 2006 and have never looked back!!
