So you have seen the pictures on our website of the Bristol Storage Centre. You have read about all the fantastic storage, offices and workspace solutions on offer in Bristol. But what about the team that keeps everything together and running as it should? Below is the team’s own account of themselves and some pictures to put names to faces.....
Jose Suarez has been the branch manager of Bristol for 6 years now and lives locally in the Bristol area. As you can probably tell by his name he comes from Spanish heritage but was born and bred in Bristol: he gets a lot of stick from friends and colleagues about the fact he cannot speak much Spanish! Jose is the leader of the team and leads by example. He has many years experience in the storage industry: he has worked his way up from being a maintenance man for another storage company back when he started in 1998. Jose lives with his partner and 10 year old daughter who he dotes on very much. He enjoys his dance music and can be quite nifty on the dance floor. With a passion for sport, namely football, especially the Spanish League and the Spanish National Team our sporty Manager is also an avid follower of the mushrooming contact sport of Mixed Martial Arts.
Sean Kelly has been the Assistant Manager at Bristol for 4 years now, and also lives local to the Bristol centre. Sean lives with his partner and young 17 month old son, which takes up most of his spare time now. Sean is the technically-minded member of the team and also the easiest going: nothing is too much trouble for Sean and gets the job done straight away. Sean, like Jose, has a wealth of experience in the storage industry and has been happily helping storage customers since 1997. Sean enjoys spending time with his young son and getting back to doing child-like things: like playing with Stickle-bricks and train sets...every man’s dream! When Sean does get any spare time he still enjoys seeing his friends and having a few drinks. Music is one of Sean’s passions: he also plays and teaches the guitar in his spare time and he regularly gets together with friends for a jam-session in his local community centre.
Louise Strong is our Part time Sales Assistant and has been with the company for nearly 3 years now. Louise lives in a sleepy village with her daughter not far from the Bristol centre. When Louise is not at work she spends most of her time shopping, shopping, shopping and may be a bit more shopping, but she does also like her girlie nights out with her close friends. Monday mornings are very interesting in the Bristol site as Louise always has lots of stories to tell about her weekend! Louise is also a Paris Hilton wannabe and has a dog called Princes Tia that she carries around with her in her handbag dressed up in matching outfits (?!?!). Despite her socialite dreams, she still manages to keep the boys at the branch in check....someone has to!
Naomi Somers is the newbie of the bunch, and the youngest member of staff at Bristol. Naomi is also a Part time Sales assistant who started with Alligator in March 2011 and also lives in Bristol. When Naomi is not at work she enjoys making the most of her spare time with her partner and her friends, and finds it all too easy to blow her whole pay cheque in the space of a day! Naomi makes the most of Bristol night life and definitely prefers to drink pitchers rather than the tiny glasses the drinks usually arrive in. Naomi is the member of the team that is constantly apologising for knocking things over, getting lost in the storage units and being a tad forgetful! However she is learning more about the ins and outs of the storage industry and is thoroughly enjoying being part of the Bristol team.
Well well, what a happy little storage troop! Now you know who will be serving you with a smile when you pop into the Bristol branch to get some storage sorted or to pick-up some packaging materials.
