Follow a day in the life for the Boatbreakers team. We set off from the south coast and headed North east to Ipswich. The boat was a small Shetland that was in a sorry state. After a number of botched repairs she almost sank and the owner decided it was time to go. What do you think about the repairs that were done?! We made an effort to film exactly what goes on in a little boat collection as we winch it all up onto our flatbed trailer.

Once the boat was empty of water and loaded we set off back home. We dropped the boat into one of our recycling centres on route and gave ourselves a clear trailer for returning to Portsmouth.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about. He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent! When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him
