Meet The Team !

 Pete ‘the Meat’. or just plain ‘Meatie’ to his friend, has been one of Mike’s enforcers since the olden days. Notorious for his ability to tell a story, children come from all over Londonshire to listen to his tales of excitement and bravery. ‘Meatie’ has a wealth of experience to draw upon, and know’s more than most about everything. Specialising in technical ‘bits and bobs’ he’s good for the techies, and the old school players seem to love him. Pete ‘the Meat’s main strength though lies with the ladies, and all that needs to be said is that he is one of diving’s most famous batchelor’s
 ‘Soup Head’ or ‘Soupie’ to his Mum, is the young work horse of the Mike’s empire. This talismaniacal God that he has become can only be put down to good genes, and French onion soup. In diving terms Soupie thinks he knows it all. Claims that he once punched a shark are unfounded (he’s a lover of sharks (not in a dolphin loving kind of way!)) and specialises in underwater imaging. Check out his show reel where in a twist of fate, he gets head butted by a Tiger shark. But if you really want to get him excited just ask about Jessica his new Micra !
 Jamie Calder aka JC, is the new kid on the block at Mike’s. With less than 2 weeks of diving experience he’s obviously clueless as to how to run a dive shop. Nobody tell him I said that though. Feared by his employees for his ferocious temper, and animal like dance moves , JC is a perfectionist. He runs a tight ship here at Mike’s, and customer service clearly runs in the blood. He once famously spent three hours talking to a customer about our range of snorkels we sell, only to discover that the customer was in fact his own reflection in the shop mirror, amazing.

 

Steve Brown is actually called David, and isn’t even Irish. It’s absolutely mental. He’s Scottish. ‘Haggis’ to his mates goes crazy for peanuts, cycling, and orange waterproof trousers. That’s all we know of him. An internet whiz kid from a tender age, ‘ Haggis’ left the grind of the Scottish fish farms in search of life experience, and to ‘to be free, like a butterfly’ as he puts it. Deported from Africa for fraud, he now puts his skills to good use and is our internet vice lord.
 

Lorraine lives in the cave at the back of the shop.  She spends the days counting the ‘Moolah’ and scheming about how to get more ! She also makes sure we get paid, so she is the real boss.  When we look so scared giving you all that extra discount it is because we know that Lorraine will summons us through the back in the morning ....... She can be pretty scary too – even Mike was scared of her !

Socially Lorraine is a big part of the London underground trance scene.

The suit arrived in perfect condition and on time. Thank you, the service was excellent. !
