Garry is a qualified Fitter and Turner by trade which has enabled him to utilise his skills to pursue design and implementation of new and improved oyster farming methods and infrastructure.

Garry is heavily involved in product design and testing of all infrastructure components ensuring the products design is fit for purpose in the harsh marine environs where oyster farms are situated.
