Marcus Emms

Our Shaw and Crompton Town Crier and Santa Claus. Marcus and his wife Michaela work tirelessly for our community. Marcus has a life limiting condition called Behcets which is an autoimmune illness and as a result deals with chronic pain and severe vision issues. Despite many ongoing hospital appointments and endless medication, he still manages to be employed, take care of his family and offer much of his time to Shaw and Crompton. Marcus can be found attending all our events, charitable causes, the opening of new businesses and milestone occasions for the general public. He has a joyous personality, is warm, caring and compassionate. In the autumn, he starts growing a beard ready for his many bookings as our excellent Santa Claus. There really is nobody who deserves this accolade more than Marcus Emms.
