David Fouracre

He is a keen founder member of the Exeter Gauge O Group, but because of his many commitments has little time for modelmaking - and consequently is often the butt of much ribald humour in the Exeter Gauge 0 Group. He lives in Colyton with his wife - almost three minutes walk from the shop. He took up horse-riding a few years ago, and was regularly to be seen on his generously-proportioned bay Ardennes gelding Dan. Sadly, in January last year Dan went to the great stable in the sky - he's greatly missed.

Both David and his wife Susan (who regularly helps out in the shop) enjoy classical music and singing - David sings on a semi-professional basis. These interests are reflected in the music played in the shop - more Bach Brahms and Beethoven than Black Sabbath! If you are visiting the shop on a Saturday and particularly want to speak to David, then do contact us beforehand as he is sometimes away singing for his supper.

Michael Bright

Michael Bright beavers away backstage in the workshop on cleaning and renovation. He is Mr Fix-It par excellence, a hoarder of anything that might be useful one day, and an ardent car-booter. A wizard at all things technical, his only problem is his reluctance to apply the oil-can ...

Bob Olliver is a retired school-teacher... who has endured the fast learning curve about the tool business as he regularly helps out front of house. In his spare time he is an avid bird-watcher, so the location of the shop beside the River Coly suits him admirably. He and his wife Julia travel worldwide in their birdwatching quest.
