Safely gathered in
There aren’t many areas of
the Island that have escaped
John Russell’s fence-building
expertise over the years.
In fact he jokes that if you were to walk
from the Needles all the way to Culver
Cliff, you’d be hard-pressed to find
many spots that he hasn’t built a fence
on!
John, who has been running his JR
Fencing business from Shorwell for
the past 25 years, specialises in high
quality large-scale fencing, and some
of his clients include the National
Trust, RSPB, Hampshire and Isle of
Wight Wildlife Trust and the Island’s
Donkey Sanctuary.
“We do some domestic fencing, but
mainly it’s larger-scale work such as
agricultural and stock fencing and
security, which I really enjoy”.
Working on projects such as these
means that John can also claim to have
fenced in everything from ostriches
and alpacas to wallabys and meerkats!
He employs three other fence
builders, and says they all take pride
in doing a great job, no matter how
large or small it is – from 100 metres
to 5,000.
“We’ve built up a good reputation
for quality work, so at the end of every
job there’s always a great feeling of
satisfaction” he says.
