About The Barge Company...... The Barge Company has been an independent and privately owned company for the last six years, and before that it operated under the name of Alastair Sawday s Barge Bookers for 10 years. Over those sixteen years Alastair, then Sheila and Dave Clifton, with the help of Elaine Brooks and Marie Hodges worked hard to build the respected reputation as one of the few European experts on barge cruising that the company now enjoys. ABOUT MARIE AND MARK This summer Marie married a dashing young man called Mark (and her surname changed to Galle!), and they now work side by side with Sheila and Dave as the two new Barge Company Directors. Together our team of four is dedicated to a personal, prompt and friendly service offering everything you need to book the right barge for you! ABOUT BEING INDEPENDENT As we approach our seventh season we are further establishing our position as the leading European barge bookers. All our reviews and comments on the barges are ABSOLUTELY INDEPENDENT we aren t sponsored by anyone, nor do we have shares in any of the barges. ABOUT BARGING We love talking barging and many of our clients become friends sending us postcards and news from all over the world. As we are based in England, we can make frequent visits to all the barges to make sure they re still in tip-top condition for our clients, and also to ensure that we re up to date with their facilities and are maintaining their excellent standards for you. As a result, we enjoy excellent relationships with the barge-owners, and remain full of admiration for what they do. ABOUT THE AREAS WHERE YOU CRUISE We also make frequent educational visits to areas that may be of particular interest to our clients pre or post-cruise, and collect information on the cruise regions, so that we can pass it on to you. We don t mind how many questions are asked, if we don t know the answer to them all, we ll certainly find out! PAST CLIENT QUOTES We particularly appreciated your persuading them to run the cruise for just the two of us!
