Katie is enthusiastic, intelligent, hard working and will be a credit to any organisation. Katie and her team was one of the reasons we purchased Sandown Sports, they all worked so well together and it was a pleasure to work with her. Katie is dynamic, engaging and fun to be around. Always willing to pitch in at all levels, from high level sponsorship meetings to leaf blowing :) I have no hesitation when it comes to recommending her. Any organisation would be lucky to have her! She is a brilliant instructor who single handedly developed our junior ski programme. She was always looking at ways to improve our offering and make lessons/improvement more fun for everyone. Our junior and school ski clubs are arguably the best the in UK and this is largely down to the framework Katie was instrumental in creating. When we launched a new business, Skywalk Adventure, Katie was the obvious choice to lead our instructor training programme and she became involved with all aspects of the development of this business.

Having worked with Katie for a number of years, I can safely say she is a brilliant ski teacher and coach, able to inspire confidence in old and young alike - a fun and bubbly personality coupled with great teaching skills makes Katie stand out from the crowd.
