Meet The Team

Here at Teleshore we’re a very close team (more like a work family).

Find out more about us individually and what role we play within our team.

  • Richard Smith

    From the ground up, or in this case from below ground up? Rich has worked within the Teleshore group since early 2000’s. Initially working with the addition of
    lifting equipment to the range and very quickly being part of the first MEMSAFE
    team onsite carrying out memorial safety works. After managing the Memsafe
    operation for a number of years, Rich moved into group operations to work
    closer with Jim and Peter to expand the services we offered to the industry,
    from exhumations throughout to bariatric interments. Moving on some 25 years,
    Rich now heads up the group, continuing to work closely with each department
    and looking forward to moving forward with the company and serving bereaved
    families and colleagues throughout this unique industry. If there is ever a
    spare moment, walks, sports and anything Welsh rugby normally get the nod.

  • Erica Smith

    Erica joined the Teleshore team in 2019, but with family commitments and the turmoil of Covid she stepped away to be more local to home more often.   The stars aligned in 2025 and Erica joined us again and is here to stay.  Erica can be found racing around the country meeting our customers and building fantastic relationships.  Erica loves to get involved with everything and continues to support the growth of the business.  Best of all, she loves baking and even better, loves to share!

Donna will always ensure the customers’ needs are exceeded and that they have the right product for the job.

  • Zak Eales

    Zak is one of the newest members of our team, and what a great fit he has been. Joining the team in February of 2025 and very quickly finding his feet with the vast array of products and services we offer, he became an instant hit with customers and the rest of the Teleshore team.  Zak’s experience and expertise lie within the sign and graphics industry, and he became the obvious choice to lead the in-house signage team at this exciting time of growth for them.

    With average banter skills, but a great can do attitude, you very rarely hear him say no.

  • Gavin Scammell

    Gav has become one of the faces of Memsafe up and down the country. As operational manager for Memsafe he looks after the teams ensuring they have everything they need to deliver our impeccable service.

That said he will also be found on any complex exhumations or specialist projects as part of the leadership team. In his spare time he will be found enjoying family life or as he says, working for his kids.




  • Dylan Scammell

    Dylan is the baby of the Teleshore Group and the one everyone loves. The worst kept secret is that he is Gavin’s son, which at one stage gave us no less than 4 father and son pairs in the building. Dylan has worked from a stone mason apprentice to a fully qualified stone mason fixer, memorial inspector and all round great team member. Regardless of how hard the day has been you will find Dylan in the gym or renovating his first house that he has just purchased with his girlfriend.
