Our Management Team
Sam
Director & Project Builder
Sam began his career as an apprentice wooden boat builder (shipwright), inspired by his childhood spent watching his father rebuild a Thames sprit sailing barge. After transitioning into sales and procurement for the American company Navtec, where he headed the UK operations, Sam realized his true passion lay in hands-on work. In 2014, he returned to his roots, trading the corporate world for the tools, and founded Calico to pursue his love for craftsmanship and creation.
