The Fat Squirrel Outdoor team

Passionate about the restorative effect of the outdoors, Kate took over the ownership of Fat Squirrel in 2021. She is loving her new outdoor life after almost 30 years running digital marketing consultancies for the world's largest technology companies. 

Colin keep the wheels of Fat Squirrel Outdoor rolling both online and in the wood. He gets his hands dirty putting up shelters and making our furniture. You can meet him running events and keep us in line in the wood. 

  Robin has experience cooking for Michelin star kitchens and on private yachts, as well running cookery classes. He leads our campfire cooking and produces our infamous and deliciously yummy Squirrel sauce.   

David is semi-retired after a global career of consultancy. Now he loves being outdoors and you will often meet him hosting axe throwing and running our kid's campfires and Fire and Feast camps. 

Jess joined Fat Squirrel to run activities in the woods but after the birth of her son this year you are most likely to come in contact with her as she manages our bookings behind the scenes.   

Michael is an excellent Kid's party host and demon axe thrower. After years of running a Cub pack has all the outdoor and communication skills required to keep both young people and adults happy at events. 

Jo is a woodland superstar and youth mental health first aider. Highly experienced at working both outdoors and with young people you meet Jo at our kids parties, Fire and Feast camp and our new campfire conversation networking events.   

Cat has experience working with children with SEMH concerns, trauma experience and SEND needs, holding a certificate in Therapeutic Skills for Outdoor Leaders.  You will meet Cat at Kids campfire parties, Fire and Feast camp and youth events.   

Dave is joining the Fat Squirrel Outdoor team for 2025 to lead lumber jack and rewilding activities at our retreat days. Since leaving the military Dave has turned his hand to bee keeping and sustainable woodland management with his beautiful horse Harry.     

Harry is a gentle giant and another new member to the team for 2025. Together with Dave this beautiful heavy horse will be a key part of the team for our retreat days.
