Maxine Gardner

Maxine Gardner

Commercial Director

Maxine spent the early part of her career in a variety of roles in commerce, engineering and retail. She brings this wealth of experience and considerable flair to an industry that can be very insular and limited in its outlook. Because all of the company’s work is carried out away from base and often overseas, Maxine is based in our office and provides a focal point for all the company’s activities and acts as a primary contact for clients. She is responsible for all finance, commercial and marketing for the company and has introduced many innovative ideas in the marketing and other outward facing aspects of the company.

Away from work Maxine is a classical soprano and enjoys creating and maintaining the garden at her country home.
