About Zappshelter

It’s no mean feat starting a business from scratch. The fact that we launched a product no one knew to a market that didn’t know it needed it emphasises the drive, determination and passion Craig has for Zappshelter, which runs through the whole team. Although we’ve grown to be the best shelter brand in the world over the years, he’s still very much involved each day.

Jake had only one objective as he came through his last year of school – to get out as fast as possible and join the family business. As the business has grown, so have Jake’s responsibilities and, as our Sales Director, he is involved in our Leadership Team and provides management, direction and enthusiasm for our dynamic and dedicated sales team.

A qualified and experienced management accountant with a sharp mind and an eye for detail, James is our Finance Director and a great asset to our Leadership Team. Unlike many accountants, his experience has been in the corporate world rather than an accounting practice which means he has a practical understanding of big business principles.

Having built Zappshelters before he even left school meant Freddie was well suited to understand the on-site challenges customers face and present first-class solutions. He started out as a Project Consultant, but has joined our Leadership Team as our Commercial Director, heading up a team of competent staff who look after the all operational functions of the business.

Ongoing creativity lies at the core of any good business. Staying ahead of market trends and building strong brand awareness are two of Calvin’s priorities in his role as Head of Creative, but it doesn’t stop there. Although ensuring Zappshelter is the go-to name for high-quality shelters anywhere in the world is his number one priority.

With an engineering family background, it’s no surprise that Stephen is one of our experienced Project Consultants. With a natural ability to grasp exactly how to solve customers’ challenges, he’s the go-to specialist for clients with technically complex requirements. He has overseen some of our best Zappshelter installations on huge projects like HS2.

Denley has the ability to put himself in the client’s shoes which greatly helps in identifying workable solutions to seemingly complex challenges on site. As one of our Project Consultants, he has helped to deliver some substantial projects, and his positive, enthusiastic attitude has won him friends and trust with many of our key clients.

As a qualified bricklayer with many years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, Russell knows first hand the difficulties our customers face on site. His role in Business Development is to make potential customers aware of Zappshelter products and how we can help them to protect what matters to them.

Anyone making contact with Zappshelter is likely to speak to Ash. He is a mine of information and experience when it comes to solving problems. His role is to listen to and talk through a customer’s specific challenges to come up with a solution with a tangible return on investment. Once it has been agreed with the client, he passes the file over to one of our Project Consultants to conclude.

With over 2 decades of experience in sales, business development and business support, Lisa has a real passion for detail and ensuring customer experience is at the heart of what she does. Her role as Executive Business Manager is a varied one, ranging from Executive Assistant tasks for the Leadership Team to providing backup administrative support to the sales team to keep things running smoothly.

With decades of experience in delivering operational excellence, Stav is well suited to his role as Operations Manager. From negotiating with suppliers to ensuring materials are on site in time for installations, his role is varied and no two days are the same. Stock control, transport, purchasing and plant hire scheduling are just a few of the tasks he undertakes every day.

Liam is a highly experienced and efficient Installations Manager with the day-to-day responsibility of ensuring that every Zappshelter project is delivered on time, within budget and to the complete satisfaction of our clients. This is no mean feat, and means communicating constantly with our installation teams across the country, but being calm under pressure is a life skill he has mastered.

Jim has been an invaluable asset over the years. He is a highly skilled CAD technician with the ability to translate a rough sketch into a perfect 3D render, enabling our clients to understand and appreciate exactly what their finished project will look like. His knowledge of the details of Zappshelter engineering means that he is a great support to the team.

Matthew spent many years running his own business in the carpet fitting industry which gave him a practical grasp of what it means to manage a company. Having undertaken extensive training over the years in all aspects of health and safety, he was well placed to become our H&S, Accreditation and Contracts Consultant, handling even the most complex of risk assessments with professionalism.
