Austin Hughes
Facilities & Asset Management
Like father, like son, Austin loves working with his hands, and during lock down, used his skills to turn an old shed into a man cave using recycled materials, mainly pallets (…wow, that’s pretty impressive… and it includes a fully stocked bar!) show more...
He used to be a mad footballer at school but since entering the ‘real’ world, rarely finds the time these days.
Likes: Practical work, particularly working with and making things out of wood, good quality tools, all forms of construction, digger driving (random!), all types and flavours of donuts (he does not discriminate) and table tennis, to name a few.
Dislikes: Bad quality tools, seeing good quality wood being wasted because he will find a use for it! Oh, and Monday mornings (they’re the worst).
Dreams of: Beating Chris McQuillan 3 straight sets at table tennis (...sadly, I don’t think there’s any chance of this happening any time soon).
Barry Saunders
Warehouse & Distribution
Barry spends his days whizzing about in the van doing the weekly deliveries around the North. Catch him if you can.
Bethany Palmer
Customer Care
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, this sweet girl can cope under pressure and she can hold her own. With an eye for detail, and a penchant for Smarties McFlurrys, our Beth, is sure to keep you right. show more...
Bethany's pet-peeve is when other drivers are on the road at the same time as her, so please, would you do her a courtesy and get off the road!
In other news, she is loving her new role as an 'aunticorn' (official definition: like a normal aunt, only more awesome). She's slightly skittish, but the office wouldn't be the same without her loud gasps and gazelle-like tendencies.
Likes: Chai tea, Starbucks, sleep and spending summers in the South of France.
Dislikes: making decisions, early mornings and spiders.
Chris McQuillan
Purchasing
Chris is a Grade 1 Table Tennis Coach and Captain of Ballymena A Table Tennis Club. He loves musical theatre and 80's music.
And ...he's a major Ballymena Utd superfan!
Conor McDermott
Engineering & Maintenance
Conor loves nothing more than being stuck behind a 16KG washing machine in Cork on a Friday afternoon. He also has the unique inability to see parts that are right bang in front of his face (do we need to give him directions to Specsavers?) show more...

Connor McQuillan

Connor is the newest member of the team but is anything but shy. A real talker, he’s sure to put you at ease if you’re the type that struggles to make conversation.show more...
Curtis Clelland
Warehouse Operative
Curtis works in our warehouse alongside Braden. They are very alike but both constantly complain about how annoying the other one is ...pot. kettle. boys! show more...
Eddie Greer
Warehouse & Distribution
If Eddie’s not in a van, he’s busy picking orders on the warehouse floor. Likes to use his outdoor voice indoors.
Gary McCartney

Gemma Andrews
Project Administrator - James Clement Interiors
Part of the James Clement Interiors team, Gemma keeps busy with furniture quotes and just loves working out the fabric requirements for curtains and blinds …or not… (do you know she doesn’t have curtains in her home? …well, the neighbours are the kind with 4 legs so why would you bother). show more...
Hannah Taylor
Project Management - James Clement Interiors
The sweetest member of our team has got to be Mrs Taylor. Although, she obviously doesn’t think we’re sweet enough from the amount of sugary confections she plies us with …definitely a feeder …never ever leave us Hannah! show more...

John Doyle
Warehouse & Distribution
John Lonergan
Account Manager
Not one for sitting around, he enjoys the simple things in life …cycling, chocolate and comedies (especially his laugh out loud favourite ‘Only Fools & Horses’). John’s go-to karaoke song is ‘Hotel California’, and if he had to eat one meal for the rest of his life it would have to be bacon & cabbage. show more...
Route66 is on his bucket list and he tells us if he could be an animal, he’d be an eagle (hmm …interesting!)
Likes: Christmas dinner (oh yeah)
Dislikes: People standing too close at checkouts
Dreams of: the beach
Johnny Woods

Katie Preston
Service Co-Ordinator
Back from maternity leave (...honestly, some people will do anything to get a bit of time off work), Katie is adjusting to office life once again and her new role that involves looking after two engineers and supporting the sales team (wow, those mummying skills will come in some use). show more...
Kevin Glass
Business Development Director
Kevin started with us 13 years ago! He doesn't look old enough, does he? He works tirelessly to give the impression that he works tirelessly, yet amazingly delivers deals and diligence for his customers regularly. show more...
Lloyd Palmer
Executive Assistant
Lloyd no longer drinks tea at work - maximising efficiencies and all that, tea takes too long to make apparently. Now, the day starts with a cup of strong black coffee (strength – 4 beans, nothing less is acceptable). show more...

Stephen Patterson

A long-standing member of the team, nothing gets past Stephen, with his eye for detail and his knowledge of customer ordering habits.
Terri Shields
Credit Controller
Terri is super-organised and suffers no fools (beware, this feisty credit controller [or the girl in accounts as she’s affectionately known by the Agri team] doesn’t come with a remote) but, she’ll be the first to greet you with a great big smile. show more...
