Van Technical Advisor
After many years, Ken Bridges is stepping down as Van Technical Advisor. Having moved away from Anglias a few years ago, he has stayed around offering advice from his huge knowledge base. We wish Ken all the best with his new ventures, but I’m sure we’ll still see him around at a few shows!
If anyone would like to step up as technical advisor, please get in touch.
