Meet Our Team

Meet our fantastic team of experienced instructors and head office colleagues.

Whilst A to Z Expeditions focusses solely on delivering DofE expeditions, our instructors have a broad range of outdoor experience.

They have led expeditions across the UK and around the world, from the Antarctic to the jungles of Borneo. They also share a love of the outdoors and have an enthusiasm to pass this on.

Our Head Office team is made up of highly qualified and experienced outdoor instructors, managers and administrators.

They collaborate to ensure expeditions are meticulously planned, operating procedures are adhered to and instructors are carefully selected and trained.

All of our instructors and everyone at Head Office have an excellent knowledge of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the majority are also DofE accredited assessors.
