Hi, My name is John and I have been the Freshwater Branch Manager since 2020 and worked within Hurst's for just over 7 years.

My experience has been within the building industry since leaving school as a qualified bricklayer and joiner.  I enjoy passing on my knowledge and like to help out customers to ensure they are using the correct tool for the job they are looking to complete.

I am lucky and proud to be part of such a great local community, with so many of our regular customers coming to ask for help and more importantly trusting that we will provide an honest answer.  It is quite nice to think that people in and around Freshwater have completed improvements to home and garden with a little bit of love from Hurst's.

Pop in and myself or my incredible team will be happy to help.
