After earning her Bachelor’s degree, she worked with a number of national and multinational importers, where she held various marketing and operational roles.

Robin Gamble / Director
With an extensive background in plant hire, corporate training, and wellness, Robin’s diverse experiences have led him to unexpected opportunities. It was during a chance Judo lesson in the South of Thailand that he met Tero Paunonen, the owner of Paalupiste Oy, one of Europe’s leading screw pile manufacturers. Recognising the potential for collaboration, upon returning to England, Robin established Helix as Paalupiste’s exclusive agent in the UK. This partnership has enabled UKHelix to bring innovative and reliable solutions to the UK market, while also expanding Paalupiste’s global reach.
Tero Paunonen / Paalupiste
Two decades ago, Tero established Paalupiste Oy with the goal of providing the Finnish market with high-quality screw-piles. Over time, he has expanded the company’s reach to include projects across Europe and beyond, ranging from road signs to railway services. Today, Paalupiste Oy supplies its high-quality construction grade European steel products to countries such as Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Africa, and Iraq. Despite this growth, the company’s commitment to using only the finest European steel fabricated in Finland has remained steadfast.
