Our Managing Director, Simon Fisher, has a long career in the gases industry having worked in many fields of gases around the world.
Few are aware of his previous activities. Before he got into gases Simon was chief mechanic for a power boat race team. The team ran in formula 1, 4 catamarans and monohulls competing with 11 boats overall.

Simon himself occasionally raced one of the boats and proved to be quite successful not only with the spanners keeping the rest of the team going but he showed a flair in winning the odd race.
Next time you meet him, ask him, but ask him to keep it brief!!
