Bossoms Boatyard

PEOPLE AT BOSSOMS

Although the Bossom family sold the boatyard that bears their name over 60 years ago, the boatyard continues the best traditions of a family business to this day.

Below are the people that make up today's Bossoms Boatyard family

THE TEAM

Lyn Ahmet
Office Administrator

I run the office and deal with our customers. I like the friendly atmosphere of a small but busy company that has a family feel to it. Although we are a modern company, Bossoms still retains an ‘Old World' feeling that I like.

Simon Burton

Boat Building Manager

Bossoms has a brilliant work atmosphere where everyone is working towards the same goal. We produce a top quality product using classic boatbuilding skills, mixed with new and modern ideas, using the latest technology. I enjoy my role at Bossoms because I have been given the chance to express myself as a boatbuilder and to implement new ideas into both our older and very latest craft. I am also able to pass on my skills and work ethic to those I work with.

Matthew Tolley

Trainee Boat Builder

I joined the company two years ago when I left school. I enjoy working at Bossoms, working with Simon I am learning many skills and techniques. Bossoms are supporting me by sending me part time to Southampton City College to study and get my qualifications as a Boatbuilder

 

Giles Shearing
Mechanical/Electrical Engineer

I enjoy working with the Bossoms boatbuilding team as they are committed to working to a very high standard, plus it's a great working atmosphere. My role at Bossoms gives me a lot of input into the development of the electro/mechanical components of each craft tailoring the installation to the customer's needs. I enjoy having an active involvement in the design and build of the craft produced here and with our latest designs on the electrical propulsion front; I believe we are producing probably the quietest and most efficient electric boats on the market today. All this is so wonderfully complemented by the views across the river, the abundant wildlife and of course the boats, all this located on what I think is the most beautiful part of the River Thames.

 

Cathy Pierce

Director

The great thing about this company is the sense that everyone is doing their best for the customers and each other - there is a sharing of responsibility for doing a good job.
