Yesterday was International Women’s Day, and we wanted to take a moment to recognise one of the women who helped shape our company.

Susan Jenkins has been part of Solent since the early days, working alongside her husband Brian Jenkins to build the foundations of the business that still exists today.

Through decades of dedication, hard work and resilience, she helped establish the values that continue to guide us — quality engineering, commitment to customers, and pride in what we build.

As the third and forth generation of the Jenkins family continues the work today, we’re proud to recognise the contribution she made to the Solent story.

✔ Zigzag
✔ 3-step (6 point) zigzag
✔ Straight stitch
✔ Thread capability up to V138 / M20
