In 1981 John Bland joined in partnership with his father George Bland to set up a business manufacturing marine canopies and upholstery. John and his management team ran the business with passion and a can do attitude which he has passed on to his staff.



John is a very “hands on” manager, where he works with the staff to support and train them to realise their full potential. With overseeing and developing the business, John’s life is never dull. John takes pride in his work and he likes to see a high quality product, and a very happy customer.



When John isn’t working at Tecsew, he devotes time to his family, including taking them on family days out and going for country walks to escape from the stresses of life.
