Now working with Beta Climbing Designs on the production, sale and distribution of remote reach solutions for both recreational climbing as well as the rope access industry, manufactured in Sheffield.Proudly heading up the Sheffield Outdoor Collective, which seeks to strengthen businesses within the Sheffield climbing industry whilst contributing to Sheffield's identity as The Outdoor City.-Originally studying MSc Commercial Real Estate, I went on to travel extensively for 10 years, living and working in such countries as India and Ethiopia as well as more typical destinations across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. During this time I held jobs in all manner of industries including the management of hostels and volunteering in the NGO sector.On my return to the UK I completed MA Cities and Global at The University of Sheffield where a combination of the travel restrictions imposed by covid-19 and a love of the outdoors lead me to a career within the climbing industry.
