It is no secret that Masons Moving Group is a leading moving company in Cardiff, thanks to a passionate team of experts. That’s why we celebrate the incredible people behind the company through the Inside a Family Business series of blogs. This month we switch our attention to a long-standing team member who has seen phenomenal growth within Masons Removals and always strives for impeccable service. Say hello to Peter Mansbridge.
A colourful career
Introducing sushi to Wales
Peter was inspired to open the restaurant after training as a sushi chef in Japan. He fell in love with the cuisine and introduced Zushi Bar to the city around the early 2000s – at this time, sushi was relatively unknown in Wales. Armed with rare knowledge and skills after training under a Japanese chef, Peter had the courageous dream of introducing and popularising sushi in Wales. Call it fate or a freaky coincidence, that in his inner circle, he is nicknamed Paul Hollywood because of his uncanny resemblance to this renowned Merseyside-born chef from the Great British Bake Off!
Peter’s journey to Masons
We knew we lost someone with an outstanding work ethic – that’s why we were overjoyed when he returned to Masons three years later. Even though Peter always loved the pressure of the catering business, he was looking for a new challenge in the fast-paced world of home and office removals. He progressed rapidly in the company, and he soon learned the operational and logistics side of things while also being trained to do removal surveys. Astonishingly, Peter did all of this while helping out as a truck driver when needed. Today, he’s part of the Operations Dream Team and works alongside Brett Mason, Richard Mason, Diane Leathem, Lucy and Fern, and helps Gordon Mason on specific projects for the company.
Transporting the British Army
One of Peter’s roles at Masons Moving Group was the crucial job of transporting members of the British Army to and from bases in the UK and Germany. It allowed him to adapt quickly to the removals environment and move up the ladder effortlessly.
Limitless talent
A petrolhead, husband and father
When he isn’t immersing himself in daily operations, this former chef and restaurateur loves DIY projects, his cars, and sometimes merging both! Self-admittedly, he may also be going through a mild midlife crisis since he is thinking about adding a motorbike licence to his extensive and diverse portfolio of licences.
Beyond his career, this self-proclaimed “petrol head” is a loving husband to his wife Suzanne and father to a 22-year-old son Cieran, 11-year-old daughter Missie and two stepdaughters Rhiannon and Sophie. The couple tied the knot on May 9 last year at the exquisite De Courceys Manor House in Cardiff.
There’s no stopping Peter Mansbridge! The whole team at Masons Moving Group would like to say a big thank you for being an invaluable part of the family and helping us continue to offer a high quality service to our customers.
