Meet the Team

GARY ROONEY

DIRECTOR

Gary started Big Recovery in October 2015 and has since expanded his Business.

Gary has now moved Big Recovery to Bigger premises, increased his fleet, and the number of staff he has working with him.

Believe it or not- he retook his photo about 25 times. " because the angle just wasn't right - he couldn't get the truck in the picture"

Gary enjoys dabbling between office work, divulging his "fountain of knowledge" to the team and helping the recovery team in the trucks. You have probably spotted him out and about working hard recently in his latest pride and joy - our Eurocargo Twindeck!

When Gary's not at work, he enjoys visiting his favourite team Dundee Stars , with his favourite people. When he isn't wrapped up at the ice rink, he will usually be away with the family for weekend trips around Scotland.If you are ever unsure if we can recover your vehicle, you can send Gary a message, and he will re-assure you of the work we cover.

ASHLEY EDGAR

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Ashley joined our team, late January 2023 and has been a fantastic asset to our team since. Most of you will have spoken to Ashley over the phone, but we thought it was time to introduce the lady behind the calls.

Ashley was completely new to the recovery business, when joining our team. However she has worked hard and flourished at developing her knowledge. But if you ask Ashley- her biggest improvement from January has been her geography

Ashley is a mum of 2 wild boys, so she was ready for whatever this job was going to throw her way.

In her spare time Ashley enjoys Boxing, cheering from the sideline at her sons football matches and cosying up to a good book.

ALANA GOW

OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR

Alana is our saving grace.

when everything gets little to manic, Alana swoops in to save the day...and Ashley getting grey hairs.

Working with us part-time to help control the Friday Load and work on our accounts in the background.

Alana has now been with us over a year and is now an Honorary member of the pick on Gary club!

In Alana's spare time, she is running around after her 2 kids and working in her other favourite workplace.

When she gets the chance, Alana enjoys letting her hair down with a day sesh at the bingo followed by some delicious food and a bit more dancing.

IAN YOUNG

Everyone meet Ian.

one of our very talented recovery drivers.

Ian was very new to the recovery business, when joining our team in 2018. However he blew us out the water with how quickly he picked up the job.

Ian loves being outdoor, come rain or shine. In his spare time he usually finds himself sneaking away on a little adventure, or sitting behind the goal line, supporting the Mighty Toffees!!
