Michael was born and raised in the old, pit mining village of Wheatley Hill, Co. Durham and went to a local primary and secondary school. Upon leaving school, Michael gained an apprenticeship in plumbing and spent the next 4 years learning his trade. Two years after passing all of the necessary exams, Michael opened up his own plumbing company, which employed several other plumbers and he enjoyed installing top quality bathrooms for over 10 years.
After noticing that online buyers of bathroom products were being sold sub-standard products and were also receiving sub-standard service, he decided that it was about time things changed for the better. That’s where the idea of Blue Sky Bathrooms came from ...
When not at work, Michael enjoys spending time with his family and keeping fit. He spends most of his time running around after his daughters Sofia and Ellie.

Daryll was born in Co Durham in 1985, he attended his local primary and secondary school albeit with little interest in academics. When he left school, he realised he had a real passion for work and business. He believes this drive and determination to succeed is essential when trying to grow any business or company. Daryll started working with a tiling company when he was just 16, two days after he left school. He worked for that company for 10 years learning the trade. At 26, he set up his own tiling business carrying out domestic and commercial tiling, gaining an excellent reputation in this area. Daryll took his career in a new direction forming a partnership with Michael to design and install high end bathrooms. As a partnership, they developed a passion for bathrooms and wanted to take this further to help customers buy quality products online.
When he’s not at work, Daryll enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, watching football and pursuing his love of cars.
