My name is Andrea

I have lived on our narrow boat for over 20 years, and I have been a member of the RCTA for around 7 years selling fair trade clothing and accessories alongside hot drinks with my husband Colin.

After giving up my hectic work as a registered care home manager, a job I had been in most of my life and loved, I became a Roving Trader. This was because I wanted to travel the waterways, but still needed an income.

I have taken on lots of volunteer roles at RCTA markets. Llooking back, I have done all the roles from Harbour Master to Health and Safety and many more. I have helped new traders along the way, both at RCTA events and pop ups.

Happy trading to all of you!
