    Meet the Staff


    _With internet sales out stripping high street sales these days it can very often be a very impersonal experience and it would sometimes be nice to put a face or faces to the business you are dealing with online. This why we always put a “Meet the Staff” page on our websites, that way you can feel it is more of a personal experience when you can put a face to a name and know that we take great delight in customer satisfaction which is why we have so many returning customers. So please, take a minute to get to know us.

    Barney

    Picture
    Barney the 6 year old Labrador, complete head case so he fits in well as the company mascot. He loves nothing more than to head out into the mountains and wear us all out. He can perform CPR. Usually at around 02:00 when the killer sheep on the Mountain are about to storm the tent !!! Then you get two front paws perfectly placed with 30kilos of dog bouncing up and down with pin point accuracy.

    Darren Jones. Business Development Manager and all round computer genius. He’s the one behind all the technical wizardry on the web site which, quite frankly wouldn’t have happened with out him.  Darren has also worked in the construction industry but left for a career in IT and the Weighing industry .

He brings out the best in all Instructor Candidates and prepares them for going out to teach in the real world.

    Andy Purkis

    Picture
    Andy Purkis. Senior Staff Instructor.  He’s the one with the most hair out of all of us. Andy has a degree in educational studies and as well as being a PADI IDC Staff Instructor he also works in the Transport and Logistics Industry. Andy and I did our EFR Instructor courses together in March of 2003 not long after the introduction of the EFR program in late 2002 seeing the potential in the course programs and how they could be applied.


    Dean Jones

    Picture
    Dean Jones. Actually, he’s probably the one with the most hair out of all of us. Dean works in the motor Industry as a paint and body shop technician but has probably spent more time in the classroom than anyone else. He used to sit in on all the courses I have taught and has played the patient more than once. He has now joined us as an Associate Staff Instructor.
