A very experienced operator remaining calm under all circumstances. Taking on our managing director recently at a spin class in our new Gym he came second, but wants a rematch.

Olwen Porter

Administrator

Known affectionately as Olly to those who have got to know her over the years, being at Queen Anne's Battery since 1999. She has worked her way up to a position of Administrator which is a key and vital role being very knowledgeable in the position. Supporting not only her fellow team mates but also taking on the many questions that come from berth holders over the course of a year. Always polite and very knowledgeable in what she says and does.

Stuart France

Night Dockmaster

Stuart is one of the senior members of serving staff, as he has been at QAB since 1995. He loves the solitude of the job during the early hours of the morning, but is always up for a conversation. He is entrusted in the darkness hours and the long winter stormy nights with your vessel being an unsung hero. Stuart is very experienced on the water having once had his own yacht and many miles clocked up in it.
