MEET THE TEAM

Andy has been happily standing in fields, car parks and town centres in all weathers ever since Carolyne press-ganged him into helping at the Cobham Market over 10 years ago. Always ready to help directing vehicles, stallholders and the public or just to help where needed!

Today Andy runs the day-to-day operations of the markets and is always keen to lend a helping hand to any new stall holder.

Michael is a Chartered Surveyor specializing in the commercial and industrial markets. Until recently he was appointed as an arbitrator or as an independent expert on dispute resolution. He is now a board member to ensure others are up to speed in this field. He is also a Registered Valuer to his Institution.

He has two grown-up children and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. Michael is married to Carolyne and they live in Epsom.

In his leisure time he enjoys watching most sports and is a supporter of Dorking Rugby Club.

Born and bred Essex publican’s daughter, threw away the stiletto shoes and emigrated to Surrey over 40 years ago!

Proud wife, mother, stepmother and grandmother of several gorgeous young people.

Joined Surrey Chambers of Commerce in 1998 as their first Regional Manager. Working out of the Town Hall in Epsom we formed the Epsom and Ewell Business Partnership and, in a bid to encourage retailers to open their doors on a Sunday, we started the monthly Epsom Farmers’ Market in 1999.

After several happy years with Surrey Chambers of Commerce old age started to catch up and I retired at 62, but carried on managing the three Farmers’ Markets that we had by then. When Surrey Chambers of Commerce re-structured in 2010 it became clear that the markets were not within their scope of expertise so I launched Surrey Markets Ltd.

Always looking for further opportunities to bring our Farmers and Producers to other venues in and around Surrey.
