Meet the Team

“Doing something that genuinely makes a difference to people's lives is a huge part of my job satisfaction. Outside work I like to spend time with the family in the park, playing games or getting out into the lovely Shropshire countryside. I once ran 3 Language Schools in central Moscow. ”

“I'm responsible for the day to day operation of the factory and, after our founder, I'm the longest serving member of the team with over 27 years under my belt. Outside of work I enjoy walking in the woods and my favourite food is prawns.”

“I've been with Tough since autumn 2017. Apart from the wonderful people and lovely Shropshire countryside, it's a genuinely great company. Outside of work I can be found walking the spaniel, sitting in the stands at Molineux, playing bowls or relaxing at my mobile home in Wales. I am partial to Nepalese food and chocolate.”

“I've been with Tough since 2005 and love the team spirit here. Outside work you'd find me searching for rare and antiquarian books or enjoying dim sum. I also happen to be an air rifle crack shot!”

“I've been with Tough since 2013 and liaise with customers to achieve the best possible furniture solution. ”

“Tough is a great forward thinking, innovative company to work for in a lovely part of the UK. I like to spend my spare time outdoors sailing or mountain biking and generally any sport that involves sitting down.”

“The best thing about working at Tough is it's such a friendly, family run company. When I'm not working I enjoy running, watching movies and crafting.”

“I work in Design & Marketing. Outside of work I can be found playing football or tinkering with bikes. At the age of 6 I spent a week living on the River Amazon! ”

“I look after Tough's CRM System, support the Sales Team and put together our monthly newsletters. Outside work, when I'm not acting as a taxi to my 3 kids I try and keep fit by running. ”

“The best thing about working for Tough are the lovely working facilities and particularly the new fish tank - I have named all the fish in there! Outside work I enjoy gardening ,singing in a choir and sewing. My favourite food is the tomato, especially in a Bloody Mary! ”

“I work in Quality Control & Dispatch and supervise assembly. Tough is like a second family to me. When I'm not working I like to spend time with family and quite like walking when there's a pub at the end of it! I once spent 4 years in Spain running a restaurant and bar.”

“I answer any queries and questions our customers might have. Outside work I enjoy mountain biking and I can do fairly complex origami. My favourite food is a BBQ.”

“I've been at Tough for over 23 years. I often go out to customers and love leaving site knowing they are happy. Outside work you'd find me on my motorcycle, camping or in my workshop building bikes and fabricating metal work. ”

“I like seeing the projects I've been modelling on screen materialise into life-size products on the factory floor. When I'm not working I enjoy playing music and working on classic cars. I have a private pilot licence too.”
