Jan Cottle, Housekeeper.
Jan was born in London but has lived in Llanmadoc for 7 years with her daughter. They have a dog, 2 cats, 2 chickens, a pony, a tortoise and a 5 foot tank of tropical fish. She loves spending time in her green house attempting to grow veg, she assures us she will succeed eventually. She loves cake (a lot) and loves cleaning up after the rest of the staff (not a lot). |

Sarah Leedham, Environment Coordinator.
Sarah has been working for A Rocha Living Waterways for the past ten years and lived happily in Southall, Middlesex, looking after the nearby Minet Country Park. Sarah’s role includes helping to implement the conservation management plan, making connections with local people and organisations and overseeing the allotment. Although she has enjoyed the thrills and spills that London has to offer, she is now enjoying village life in Llanmadoc and can be observed frequenting the excellent Trinity Choir and the Britannia Inn. Sarah confesses she is the world’s least sporty person, but loves walking, singing, eating and hedgelaying, but not necessarily all at the same time.

Andy Cole, A Rocha Intern.
Andy is the A Rocha intern and joined the St Madoc Centre in April. He was at the A Rocha Centre in Portugal for the last 10 months doing lots of things with birds, moths and much else. He enjoyed his time so much he came back to the UK to be involved with A Rocha projects here. He grew up in Bristol and studied at Sheffield University. Being so new he is not sure exactly what he will be doing. |

Nathan Holland, Office Ranger.
Nathan is usually found in the office working on publicity material or the website during the quieter months. During the spring and summer school terms Nathan is more often found outside working (playing) with the school groups staying on site. Nathan lives in Llanrhidian with his two year old son, Joshua (who has a cracking left foot) and his wife, Charlotte (who doesn't). He supports the Nottingham Forest and eats lots of biscuits. |

Rob Hooker, The Educator.
Rob was born in Kent and moved to Wales at a young age, he grew up in the Amman Valley and now resides in Upper Brynamman, known as the “Gateway to the Black Mountains”, apparently. He loves working outside, although sometimes it's hardly work is it - school season, woohoo! He's not so fond of the office and its technology, or it's lack of, and is often found in the office shouting at a blank computer screen. He enjoys a bit of footy, but unfortunately supports the Gunners. He drinks a lot of caffeine, in any form he can find it in. |

In her spare time she enjoys breeding and showing Welsh Mountain Ponies and Welsh Mountain Sheep with her three children.
