Alan has been key to the P&B brand since 1974 - under the former name Storrar & Bax he began manufacturing championship winning sails in a small premises in Newcastle.

Over the next 40 years he was pivotal to the development of the company guiding it, with his partner Ian Pinnell to become the successful one stop shop P&B is renowned for, offering Championship winning sails, boat sales, spars, boat repairs and chandlery.

All of us at P&B wish Alan the best for his retirement and we hope he will enjoy his travels in his boat Easy Tiger.
