Steve - site manager
Katrina’s other half – they met when he taught her to drive over 20 years ago.

George - office manager
If you phone the office or send an email, you’ll likely hear from George first. Especially mid season when she is the unsung hero behind the scenes for keeping everything organised.
She joined Team Bells in 2017 to ease some of the admin load and she’s still with us, (in her words)
Likes: Skating, cooking, baking, drawing, and crocheting woolen armour ready for the winter. The rain, thunder storms, cut grass smell, highlighters, matching soft furnishings.
Dislikes: Mushrooms (food of the devils), germs, the song ‘C’mon Eileen, pairing socks, spiders and peeling spuds.
Kelly - tent crew

(in her own words)
Likes: Juggling, skating, animals, nature, badminton, gym, storms, vampires, cinema, filmmaking, dress up, charity, love, hugs, the sea, waterfalls, my family and friends, theme parks, travelling, spontaneity, pancakes.
Dislikes: Horror films, Brussel sprouts, cruel people, monotony, queueing, traffic, cancer, depression, wet socks, punch from Punch and Judy & clowns.
Dan - tent crew
Dan - tent crew
Steve taught Dan to drive many lifetimes ago. He’s now living in Wales and has his own static glamping at home, but also moonlights with us over the summer and is our Wales contingent – when we cross the border, Dan’s coming to site to help out.
(In his words)
Likes: Land rovers, off roading, good music, good company and good food.
Dislikes: The heat, coffee and the fuel prices!
Amanda - hen camp crew
Amanda - hen camp crew
‘She’s going rogue!’
She’s a force not to be contained – not that we could, even if we tried! But she whirls though any site she helps us in, hen camp, and even covering our bedding, like the Tasmanian devil.
