James Thompson
Experienced gamekeeper
Beat keeper at Millden
Background
Hi, I’m James, I’m very keen in doing a ski season for the 2025/26 season! I am a very quick learner and am willing to turn my hand to anything thrown my way! Thanks to my current job, I can turn my hand to practical jobs well, but am willing to try anything. I have little experience in catering/ hospitality but am very willing to learn if needed. Also willing to move out to a potential position throughout the summer if necessary as I am also a very keen bike rider, from mtb to road biking.
