|
| 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. | Leo brings with him a wealth of experience to BBS. As a well-respected industry expert, Leo drives forward business development initiatives with ease, thanks to his ability to seek opportunities and create long-term client relationships. When he’s not working, Leo is a keen walker and can often be found high up in the hills. | |

| 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. | |
