Someone who’s almost synonymous with Mitre 10 Mega Queenstown is retail manager Marlene Crimp, who’s been with the company for almost 31 years. One such is Marlene Crimp, retail manager for one of the town’s largest stores, Mitre 10 Mega, who joined the original H&J’s Mitre 10 in 1993. She married Ray Crimp in Nelson in 1978; they bought a house in nearby Brightwater and raised two sons, Phillip and Matthew. In 1997 the store manager left and she took over, then was initially retail manager when the much larger Mitre 10 set up in Remarkables Park in 2000. Her title reverted to store manager in 2007, but she’s been retail manager since Mitre 10 Mega opened in 2015.
