SIMON LAING

Consultant | Trainer | Adventure Guide

I’m an experienced professional in the adventure activities space and ex-marine ecologist. I’ve been a full-time business owner, adventure guide and trainer for the last decade, having founded and grown one of the largest adventure companies in north east England.

I am passionate about adventure travel and the outdoors and I love helping people develop sustainable activities that make the most of their environment.
