Alison Holland, Site Manager.
Alison was appointed camp manager in April 2008 and moved into the cottage with her husband Martin, having previously worked at the Bible College of Wales in Swansea. Married for over 26 years, they have three grown up sons and a greyhound called Dexter, who's actually beige. Alison is a trained teacher and has also worked in global logistics for nine of the last twelve years.

 

 

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.

 
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 four 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.
 

Ali Grove, Assistant Administrator/Chef.
Ali was born on Gower and loves the rural lifestyle. She recently joined the St Madoc Centre in November 2011 as Assistant Administrator, when not in the office Ali can be found in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove as she also does the Catering when required. 
In her spare time she enjoys breeding and showing Welsh Mountain Ponies and Welsh Mountain Sheep with her three children.

 

Geoff White, Outdoor Ranger/Groundsman.
Geoff works with Sarah normally outside implementing the environmental plan though he does love cutting stuff (grass and wood). Before joining the team he worked as a gardener/tree surgeon as well as having volunteered with A Rocha. Though Geoff is a genius (read: destructive mess) he supposedly has some brains with a degree in Wildlife Conservation. When Geoff's not cutting, mowing and playing with power tools he’s found playing football (not well, usually involving someone getting injured), down the pub or watching homeland in the Manse.
