Susan together with her husband Bob founded the Fire Basket in 1985.  She has a passion for fashion and prior to entering the world of fires was the owner and founder of “Susan’s” a popular clothes shop on Fishponds Road.  When the clothing business hit difficult times the McGills decided to change direction and focus on gas central heating.

Sue looks after the accounts and keeps the business on a straight line. She is also the creative force behind the showroom’s appearance.  The pictures, wall paper and placing of the fireplaces and the beautiful and homely feel of our showroom is down to her vision.  Designing bespoke fireplaces in the past, setting up a new business as well as raising her two children she has proven she can pretty much turn her hand to anything.  In her spare time she loves spending time with her family especially chasing after her two grandchildren, going out for meals with friends and travelling.  She also loves shopping and has a gift for finding the “perfect” item.
