When Joseph William Gatenby’s career was cut short by a seven-year injury, he concentrated on his second love, angling. Becoming one of the best salmon anglers, he couldn’t refrain from showcasing his skills, becoming a true perfectionist. During his working life, he and his two brothers built up an excellent electronics and household company, employing a large workforce and opening shops in the North East. He and his wife, Marnie, lived on their farm with their son and his family, looking after old horses.
