Meet The Team

Your Skelwith Fold Team

Introducing the team at Skelwith Fold Caravan Park who will look after you however you choose to stay with us. Our dedicated team ensure you have a truly memorable stay.

Geoff Elliot – Holiday Park Manager

Part of the Skelwith Fold family since 2006, Geoff has been overseeing operations on the park as a whole since his arrival. In his time here he has seen the addition of various green and sustainability initiatives, new caravan holiday homes and extra pitches and the introduction of rental accommodation, all with a very hands-on attitude.

Matt F – Grounds Maintenance Manager

For over 10 years Matt has brought his skills to the maintenance team which combined with his calm attitude it made sense when he was promoted to manager. He should take credit for a lot of the detailed choices when any part of the park is re-landscaped in a manner sympathetic to how things tend to look at Skelwith Fold.

Emma B – Administrator

Emma has been with us for several years now tackling the ever growing task of administration. A sometimes thankless task but a job where her accuracy really pays off. If ever you manage to stump our reception staff then Emma is likely to appear with assistance.

Lauren – Marketing & Reception

Lauren has been a familiar face at Skelwith Fold for many years. A local Ambleside girl with extensive knowledge of the area, she manages the social media and marketing while also working in reception and the shop. Known for her brilliant smile and warm personality, she always goes the extra mile to help both guests and colleagues. Currently on maternity leave, we can’t wait for her return!

Fiona – Shop & Reception

A true Cumbrian, Fiona curates the park’s shop with care and creativity. She’s passionate about cold-water dipping, fell walking, and arts and crafts.

Known for her brilliantly witty humor, she keeps both colleagues and customers entertained while ensuring the shop runs smoothly.

Ellie – Reception & Shop

Originally from Manchester, Ellie has embraced Cumbria as her forever home. A fan of Japanese modified cars, she also enjoys kayaking, hiking the Wainwrights, and spending time with her black cat, Aurora. With a BSc in Equine Sports Science, she brings both passion and expertise to everything she does. Ellie assists Lauren with marketing while also working in reception and the shop.
