He has a degree in outdoor education and has a great deal of experience with differing groups. He offers professional and thoughtful sessions and programmes He is also a great socialite so fits in well with the rest of the Crew and our clients! |

Stefan Cole Instructor Stef first joined us for a work experience week from school. We liked him so much, he was offered a seasonal contract and now works full time for us - we just can't get rid of him! Whilst with us, he has also worked for other Centres around the south coast and the odd ski season in the French Alps. Stef is well loved by our clients and is now well qualified and experienced in our activities. Away from the Centre (when we can convince him to go home) he zaps around on his motorbike and is an awesome cook. |

Roger Longman Chef Roj joined the crew in 2004 and was the find of the season. He has developed our catering and added his own particular style and charisma to meal times. Before joining Brenscombe he studied at a catering college and ran a series of kitchens in a variety of pubs and restaurants around the South Coast. Out of the kitchen, he does what he can to keep up with Stef on his vintage Lambretta, flies power-kites and mooches around the local clubbing scene.
Helping Roj, we also have: Karl Joe |

To assist with some of our corporate work and training programme run at Brenscombe, we sometimes make use of freelance trainers in the area. These very special people work with us because we really enjoy working with them and they fit in well to our team. Our associates bring skills and experience that complement those already on our team and allow us to provide expertise in areas such as:
NLP Insights Belbin Myers Briggs Drama Therapy Business Coaching |
|
Instructors In order to cope with our busy season we also hire extra seasonal staff to assist with our domestic superstars and activity staff. We recruit these from April to October and from all over the UK. Each one is provided with in-house training so they can learn how we do things (our attitude and approach to our work) and assistance in obtaining National Qualifications. Each member of the activity staff is also given a mentor to help them during the season to get the most of out of their stay at Brenscombe. |

Chief Ball Finder Milo comes into work every day with Jeffrey and is a chocolate brown Labrador. Since his first appearance many moons ago as a puppy, he has proved to be a big success with our groups. He is great with people, loves children and can usually be found playing football on the field with groups staying at the Centre. He likes to be involved with all aspects of the Centre but when not working, prefers to be searching out old tennis balls. |
|
Poppy Head of Stick Chasing Poppy has been at the Centre longer than most of the current staff. She comes to work with Tim and Anne and is a Springer Spaniel. She is now a bit of an old girl - more sedate than she once was but can still run rings around us all as well as keep Milo in his place. Always a hit with our groups, Poppy continues to receive more fan mail and attention than any other member of staff! |
