Matthew Edwards

Family

Live in a village in the East riding of Yorkshire called Full Sutton. Married to Christine, and we have two children, Sophie 20 who is a live-in nanny in Berkshire and William 18, who is a welder for Graham Edwards Trailers Ltd.

Hobbies

I am a season ticket holder for Hull City and keep 50 breeding ewes to keep me occupied in any spare time I may have!

Company

I started working for the family business when I left agricultural college in 1991, I was made a director in 1996, and then progressed to M.D as my father took more of a back seat. I have taken Graham Edwards Trailers to just short of a £5 million turnover and we export to Germany, Sweden, Iceland, Estonia, Norway, Ireland, Czech Republic and New Zealand. Looking to keep the company moving forwards we have just ordered our 1st laser cutter

NTTA

Joined the Council around 2008, as Type approval was becoming an issue in the trailer industry and at home. I try to represent trailer manufacturing on the Council and would welcome more trailer manufacturers to join and benefit from the NTTA
