Hi, I’m Trudy the Operations manager here at Woodstone Fire

When joining Woodstone I brought with me over 30 years’ experience in project management, and prosses & procedures implementation.

One of the most important aspects of my job is maintaining our accreditations which means constantly monitoring and making improvements to the day to day running of the business, along with ensuring we monitor and adhere to Health and Safety.

My biggest accomplishment here at Woodstone was creating and implementing the day-to-day procedures within the business aiding us to achieve our ISO9001 and integrating our in-house system Easybop, having the support of our fabulous team made the process so much easier, and I’m so proud of how we have embraced the implementation and have grown, especially over the last year or so.

Outside of work my biggest passion is horses, I am lucky to have my own horses Splodge & Kipling, most would say they are only thing I ever talk about, I also love spending time in the garden and baking cakes with my 3 beautiful grandchildren.

Hello I’m Gary. as a retired fire fighter of 20 years and a joiner it was a natural progression to combine my skills into coming onboard with long time friend’s David and Jacob as some 20 years ago I worked with their father.

I have an interest in all things mechanical, I have a collection/hoard of retro tech from the 70s, 80s and 90s from computers to boomboxes. my long-suffering fiancé loves dusting them. My dream is to own a tank, could be tricky getting the green light for that. fingers crossed.

Working with this fantastic team is great fun.

I have worked in Administration and Business Management for over 20 years, joining the Woodstone Fire Team in 2022. She is responsible for the coordination of projects for the overall business.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends and family and always makes sure she uses all of my Annual Leave to travel with my husband.
