    ​I joined as a Chief Officer and now I'm a Captain (Master) and have been here for nine years. I love being at sea, the scenery, the sunsets... but mostly what I like most about working for Red Funnel is getting to go home at the end of every shift!

    In 2021, I joined as a Chief Officer to give me more time at home having been away at sea on and off since I started my career in 2011. Now I'm a Master and enjoy the day to day challenges and opportunities of the role!
