Our team

Management

Gary Pickford, his wife Christine, and Mick Towell head the team at Chapel Forge Farriers.

Gary and Christine run and manage the company together, overseeing all day to day operations and staff.

They are supported by their Manager Mick Towell, who oversees all the Racing Yards, including personally undertaking remedial shoeing in those yards, and the day to day running of the Company in his role as Forge Manager. He also supervises training of our many apprentices.

The Farriers

Our team of farriers work under the Management Team's direction.

At any one time, the team has a balance of fully qualified farriers and apprentices on call. We have a full and successful apprenticeship scheme - many apprentices stay on working with Chapel Forge when they qualify.
