Mark is a big fan of Kemppi equipment and has clocked up quite an impressive number of sales.

Mark as can be seen from his photo is a quiet, retiring sort of an individual and anyone who knows him will recognise this description.

Away from work Mark is a keen family man and enjoys surfing holidays in Cornwall with his wife Amy and his two sons who also race mini-motor bikes adorned with Wellington Welding logos.

Stores / Warehouse Supervisor

Gary Ellis joined Wellington Welding Supplies in January 2020 as our main delivery driver for the Avonmouth depot.
Prior to joining us, he spent a few years in record management, this involved both storage and delivery of records to hospitals, solicitors offices and the like and was based in Avonmouth.
When not at work Gary likes to spend quality time with his young 4 year old daughter and going to the gym, presumably not at the same time. He also admits to liking Go Karting and Chelsea FC. He currently lives in Weston Super Mare and thinks the daily commute to Avonmouth is not the worst commute possible. Some may beg to differ.

Driver

Andrew Hendry joined Wellington Welding Supplies in June 2018 and is a true stalwart and can be relied upon to go more than the extra mile when required.

Previously he worked in the demolition industry as driver with over 25 years experience driving all kind of machinery: HGV class I, BobCats, Dumpers, Diggers, etc. His biggest hobbies are water skiing, swimming and watching Bristol Rugby. 

Sales Engineer

Owen Bishop joined Wellington Welding Supplies in August 2022 and despite not coming from a welding background Owen has proved to be remarkably adept at picking up welding technique.

As part of his training Owen had practical sessions with MMA, MIG and TIG welding and plasma cutting and showed excellent hand eye co-ordination. Away form work Owen lists rugby as one of his hobbies and being Welsh that probably makes sense.
