Stuart Barden

Managing Director
A self-confessed rugby nut, it’s been 20 years since I bought the Company from my father, in what seemed like a good idea at the time. Working in an airport and travel hub environment there is not a lot I have not seen or been involved in problem solving. I work hard to ensure the whole Barden Team has the same ethos to deliver.

Fun Fact: I played in the same rugby Colts side as Tim Rodber (England & British Lions) and taught him everything he knows…

Danny Bryant

Operations Director

Kelly Hayward

Service Director

Emily Butcher

Helpdesk Manager
I started at Barden FM in the Summer of 2017 as an Office Junior; I was promoted to Helpdesk Manager in 2020. I now manage 7 members of office staff & 4 day engineers and this is continuing to grow adjacent with the Company. One of the main reasons I enjoy managing the Helpdesk, is dealing with all departments, clients, and engineers across the company.

Fun Fact: I have dislocated both of my knees & both shoulders; in total I have had 15 dislocations.

Yvonne Peters

Contracts Manager
I have worked for Barden’s for 5 years now starting in the Sub-Contractor Administration Role for the first 3 years. I progressed to Contact Manager 2 years ago and love the team I am working with and strongly believe in Barden’s core values. My clients include Pret A Manger, Caviar House, YO! Sushi, Bottega Veneta, Lacoste & We Know London.

Fun Fact: I ran a girl’s football team for 5 years winning many titles and won a Sports Award myself.

Paulo Pina

Refrigeration Trade Manager
Working in the refrigeration sector since 1992, I have an enduring passion for the industry and participate actively in helping to drive our engineering teams forward via technical thought, leadership and a continuous improvement mindset.

I am a family man with 3 children that take up most of my free time. I enjoy motorcycle riding, binge watching TV and going to the gym.

I am not exceptionally gifted, nor am I incredibly bright, I think I’m only inquisitive.
