I'm now heading up a national team to continue delivering to the corporate world Animal Handling & Lifelong Learning. To provide for large companies national campaigns to promote their work and products, to push brands and deliver real goals within Social and Environmental CSR targets.

I provide a unique and inspiring, interactive animal handling workshop for children of all ages, babies and the elderly. I present at birthday parties, care homes, schools, nurseries and any other event where a special animal based session would be appreciated. These shows can teach a lot, remove many animal misconceptions and have everyone thoroughly enjoy the experience.
