30 Rock!!
Another member of the Walsh team hits the 30 year service point.
Mark Wallbridge joined us back at the height of the Britpop era in 1995. Starting off in the horology department in our old Beckenham HQ, he eventually moved to our Hatton Garden Branch serving the local jewellery trade.
He eventually joined our Graysons Time Management division working in both the office and the workshop building clocks as well as out on site for some installations. At the same time, he was well known for his graphic skills, being responsible for the layout of our monthly Clarion leaflets and eventually part of the team involved in the creation of our first website, a task he undertook again for our website update in 2022.
Today Mark splits his time between our Graysons and handling our product photography, website updates and queries and continuing to be a great all rounder in the business. His creativity doesn't stop there though as Mark plays bass guitar in the indie rock band Queen Horizon playing their own material at music venues and festivals across the South East.
