Meet the crew

George Wickham

Georgina (aka George) is our newest recruit and joined the White Mills Team as Marina Manager at the beginning of May 2024. George has a wealth of boating knowledge, she has been boating since she was 16, and has wasted very little time in rolling her sleeves up and familiarising herself with White Mills.. There are two little known facts about George (a;though I feel sure there are many many more……but for now) not only is George a keen clarinettist but she can also tell a gear box by its sound!

Sam Holmes

Sam joined the boathouse team in August 2018, after spending several months travelling. With years of experience in the catering industry under her pinny, Sam brings with her enthusiasm and a passion for baking. If you are visiting the boathouse and have a chance to have a chat with Sam, don't forget to ask her about her time as a female rugby player and as a competition sidecar passenger with her father. The words "we were robbed" might well feature in the conversation!

Mel Thompson

Mel joined the Boathouse cafe in December 2021, as our new manager, and has been full of ideas of ways to improve our customers’ experience since day one! With a wealth of knowledge from many years within the catering industry, we can’t wait to see what direction she continues to take the boathouse. Mel has a real drive and passion to succeed and we think that she is a great asset to the team in helping us take the Boathouse cafe to the next level.

Kay Elderkin

Kay joined the White Mills Marina office team as Admin Assistant in November 2019 and has certainly knocked us into shape over the past four and half years. This Summer Kay’s role changed to become part time and to focus all her attention on all our social media. Kay’s wicked sense of humour combined with her ability to see the funny side of everything certainly shines through her posts!

Dizzy

Introducing Dizzy - our half Jack Russell, half Norfolk Terrier. An occasional visitor these days only, she is a dear little dog and is quite simply everyone's best friend. We know you will love her and so we will be checking your boats as you leave, just to make sure you have no stowaways!
