Abi Atkinson - Commercial Director

Abi's passion for adventure started with rock climbing when she was 13, that passion led Abi to a Degree in Outdoor Leadership and onto a career in Outdoor Education. At work Abi loves nothing more than taking school children on incredible adventures. In her own time nothing much changes, except instead of school children you'd find her out with her family.
