Our people

Tomo Thompson, Chief Executive

Tomo has a deep interest in protecting, respecting and enjoying the natural environment. When not at his desk he is often found walking, running, climbing, cycling, dog-walking, or photographing his way round the local countryside. He also teaches outdoor pursuits, is a volunteer countryside warden, and an aspirant volunteer member of the local mountain rescue team.
He is a retired British Army Officer.

Andy Tickle, Head of Campaigns

Andy heads up our campaigns work. He is a formidable campaigner (or to use his preferred term; ‘ankle-biter’!) who works with key partners to protect and enhance the Peak District and South Yorkshire. He is also a national expert on minerals.

Susan Belt, Admin and Finance Officer

Susan manages the office and oversees our computer and finance systems. She also organises our volunteers and looks after our members.

Caroline Bolton, Archivist

Caroline manages our Archive Project (supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund), working with volunteers to uncover stories which will engage new audiences and inspire the next generation of campaigners.
