Ruth Robinson Andrea Birtwistle
Without Ruth, let’s face it, there wouldn’t be BBS. With over 20 years experience of working in the tourism industry, she certainly knows what she’s talking about. In her spare time, Ruth will be at 1 of 3 places: the allotment, the gym or at home looking after her flock of hens. Andrea runs the BBS office: Makes sure day to day activities run smoothly, Sets weekly targets and ensures clients deadlines are met. When Andrea isn’t running the BBS office, you will find her running in the early hours of the morning along the streets of Ramsbottom.

When Helen isn’t arranging client appointments, submitting tenders and monitoring the team, she is normally with her two little girls. Helen’s mothering skills often come into play in the BBS office especially when it comes to lunch time and some of the team struggle to make microwavable pasta. Lesia first joined the team as a placement student in 2008. She just couldn’t keep away and came back full time after graduating in 2010. Mainly responsible for BBS’s marketing and for bringing a little Ukrainian culture to the office.

Ocean is not only the newest member to the BBS team, but also the youngest. Ocean helps all members of the team with odd jobs and is a great help to us all. A confident and bubbly character, the office would be quiet without her. Rebecca recently joined the BBS team and has by far the longest journey to work-2hours! Rebecca is also studying Events Management and is hoping to get some hands on experience whilst at BBS.
