Rob & Zoe

Husband and wife management team Rob and Zoe Walsh met in Loughborough, where Rob was studying Automotive Engineering at the university and Zoe was studying Jewellery Design and Silversmithing at the art college.

After successfully completing his studies, Rob moved to London where he had accepted a job with the Metropolitan Police Service as an engineer working initially in evaluation, specification and testing of their fleet of vehicles. Zoe moved down the following year after completing her degree and accepted a position in the Hatton Garden jewellery quarter and they purchased a house together. After a couple of years Rob transferred with the MPS, working instead on armoured vehicles and other physical protection items such as the Met Vest body armour.

After about 6 years they decided London was not for them and following a brief time out living the simple life in Scotland (and a marriage!) they moved again and joined Zoe’s family business, York Plastics.

Having developed the CAD and CNC side of the business and following the retirement of Zoe’s parents, Rob now runs the business as MD and Zoe divides her time between home, running the office and lending a hand in the workshop.

They have two daughters, three dogs and busy lives! When they can steal a moment for themselves, they can usually be found on a beach somewhere either walking, swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking.
