Who's who?
Marcus Watts FRGS MD, Managing Director
"I set up Skiforce as there were many Gap Year programmes offering unusual qualifications in remote locations. While most British skiers ski in the Alps, their friends ski the Alps and it they want to teach, they will probably teach British skiers in the Alps.
So Skiforce with our UK qualifications, taught in the Alps and in fact one of my favorite ski resorts Morzine, meets this need so everyone can enjoy the skiing that I personally live for!"
Daniella Noykova, Operations Manager
Daniella joined Greenforce shortly after arriving in the UK, and worked for a number of years on our financial controls and new project location planning. In 2004 she moved into Operations, first to assist Alan the previous Operations Manager. Following his move in 2005 to Quito to head up our South America programme, Daniella now uses her extensive overseas travel experience and dive skills combined with her organisational management training to supervise all aspects of the Volunteers experience, following their arrival in country.
Emilie Leffler, Coordinator
My name is Emilie Leffler. I believe an interesting fact about myself is that I have lived and am from many countries. I am half English and half Swedish. I have lived in England, America, Portugal but most my life in Switzerland. I am at university but obviously currently taking my placement in London with Gapforce, of which I enjoy very much. Something that is odd about me I suppose is that I really don’t like coriander and cannot be in the kitchen when it is cooked with.
Sam, Marketing Administrator
Sam was raised in New Zealand. An avid fan of the All Blacks, Sam has long since given up his childhood dream of playing rugby and now commands the rewarding job of marketing for Gapforce. Upon moving to England to study, Sam found his zest for football and has become a staunch Gunners fan, each year predicting them as champions, a topic that he and the friendly postman never cease to debate. You are welcome to call him to support or abuse his fanaticism! Since he began, Sam has invested his time to the Gapforce website and web advertising. In his free time Sam enjoys running in his eagerness to return to work. It’s that drive which has his workmates declaring him a true ‘Force’, a certificate that hangs decoratively on his wall. As a result, Blissforce is now the bookies' favourite to be the next chapter in the illustrious Force family. Beat him by suggesting yours HERE .
Nadia Daer, Gap Advisor
It all started when I heard about Trekforce and their Amazon expedition. So despite finishing my degree at Leeds Uni, it was the amazing time I had with Trekforce as a Trekker out in South America that pulled me back. Having been a Trekker myself I know how difficult it is to select which one to go on. But give me a call and I promise to give you the lowdown on our ski programmes and mountain locations!
