Meet the Team

Owner / Managing Director

​

Not long after leaving school, Gareth joined the electrical industry and worked in electrical wholesale roles - mainly in sales and purchasing - for more than 30 years.

This ice cream gig is certainly a new venture with lots of learning, but he's enjoying it and especially loves meeting all the beloved Charlie fans, like him.

Lisa has worked at Ice Cream Charlie for more than five years, working for the previous owners - the McIsaacs.

Lisa has continued working under the new ownership in a manager's role and mainly works at the Charlie van at Victoria Square.

She loves getting to know the regulars and has is super speedy at dishing out the Charlie treats!

Ice Cream Maker Extraordinaire

​

Clive is new to the world of ice-cream making, but you would never guess it. He's taken to it like a duck to water and is right at home behind the scenes in the factory, quietly playing his part in delivering the Ice Cream Charlie experience so many people love.

​

Outside of work, Clive is a sports fan, a devoted cat owner, and recently engaged. He is clearly a man who commits properly, whether to ice cream or life!
