Our Team
Say “Hello” to the Pier32 team...
Gerry – Director and Founder
Gerry started Pier32 (then called Headline) back in 1984 and has led the company ever since. With a music industry background Gerry brings a bit of rock 'n' roll to Pier32 and it's worth giving us a call just to hear one of the most distinctive voices in the entire promotional clothing industry.
Ian – Business Development Director
Joining Pier32 as recently as 2010, Ian has used his extensive IT background to get to grips with our huge client database. Making the most of his previous career as a professional geek, Ian has been bringing Pier32 into the 21st century by overseeing the introduction of email marketing and a new website. Ian is on Twitter as @Pier32UK.
Paul – Artwork Manager
Starting off specialising in fine art and then graphic design, Paul has been designing t-shirts since the early 1980s. Now with more than 10 years at Pier32 as the head of all things arty he has a wealth of experience in all aspects of t-shirt design and colour separations.
Sue – Production Manager
We are rightly proud of our excellent print quality and quick turnaround and most of this is due to Sue's impressive organisational skills at the factory. A former textile industry machinist, Sue has a thorough understanding of quality control and oversees the finished product.

Working closely with Paul to ensure the very best quality prints that match the artwork provided, Jim has been supervising and monitoring all of our printing for several years.
