Operational Team

The portraits below show the Operational team. Very much part of the station but not yet on this page are our trainees. The line has only been drawn here since there can be a little too much volatility during the induction process to keep the page current.

In due course I hope to show more of the 'behind the scenes' team that include the station Chairman, our PR officer, the team that run the RNLI shop and some of the many others that keep Southend Lifeboat afloat.

Most crew get 'bitten by the bug' and put years of service in, well aware that public funding has gone into their training. This link takes you to our Hall of Fame dedicated to all those that have served the Southend Lifeboat in the past. Usually they have either retired from long service or just moved on through change of circumstance. Whatever the reason, thank you and we wish you well.
