About Shade Sails
Jonathon Wickham was impressed by the concept of Australian shade sails when he visited Australia a few years ago. Shade Sails knew right away that he wanted to go back to Portugal and introduce this particular shade technology. This he did, and he and his wife started what was thought to be Europe's first shade sail design and manufacturing company in 2001. The dream of Jonathon had begun. Over the years, he and his team worked tirelessly to overcome numerous challenges. Shade Sails quickly established an enviable reputation thanks to his enthusiasm, design flair, and innovative service and technology development. He adored everything, and his vision and dreams were becoming reality and flourishing. All of this came to an end on October 20, 2012, when Jonathon tragically passed away in an accident while skydiving.
