General Manager
12 years with Blue Dolphin, 20 years in the industry
It all started with a janky old 1-head embroidery machine in his basement. 20 years later, Jay manages the entire operation of our 31-head embroidery, 36-color screenprint, 40+ employee, full-service apparel decoration shop.
In his 12 years at Blue Dolphin, Jay has contributed to the growth and success of the company and his staff by fostering a collaborative and productive work environment. He strives to make each day a little bit better than yesterday, and revels in the opportunity to be part of each individual’s journey. Nothing makes him happier than seeing his team grow and work together to solve problems.
While managing a large team of diverse individuals, Jay still makes time to connect with customers and build relationships that transcend time and distance. It’s not uncommon to run into someone in Portsmouth, NH who has worked with or at least knows of Jay Dennett. He finds great enjoyment in getting to know our customers and helping them bring their visions to reality.
Beyond Blue Dolphin:
In his free time, you can find Jay outside. At the beach or in the woods, or way “up north” at camp with his family, just about anywhere outside will do the trick. He also spends his free time thinking about work; always eager to learn about industry changes, equipment, new decoration methods, styles and trends.
