Clive Freshwater

Managing director, Clive has spent a life time coaching in sport.  He started life as a professional footballer, then moved from that to do a teaching degree in Physical Education. After two years teaching  he moved to work as an instructor at Glenmore Lodge where he met his wife Sally and they thought up the idea of doing the same thing for themselves. Clive has done every job at Loch Insh and now overseas the whole set up but is trying to retire!

Sally Freshwater

Joint director with Clive and Andrew, Sally was involved in every aspect of the business at the start. She continues to oversee the management of the business and helps when necessary wherever needed but prefers to spend her time in the garden and grounds of Loch Insh keeping the place tidy with our resident gardener. She also closely monitors staffing and standards of housekeeping and the restaurant. Like Clive, Sally is now taking a back seat in the day to day management.

He does three days a week and will change a light bulb, clear the snow or cut the grass and everything else in between. He is a great asset to the business especially on changeover days and weekends when these little jobs need doing. He also has been trained to skipper the tour boat and loves to do this due to his love of wildlife spotting!

Jacalyn Dunn

Jacs is in her third year now and has been a fantastic help to the management of the centre. Taking the knowledge she learned at Tomas Cook to help with our bookings over the winter.  Come summer she'll be back at the beach making sure the downstairs runs smoothly. She still throws in the odd intermediate windsurfing lesson when the wind is good.

He used to race Lasers amongst other boats and helps as our Bosun through the year keeping the fleet up to date and well maintained. He also races Siberian Huskies along with his wife and their 4 dog team is ranked in the top 5 in Britain . Although his wife seems to go faster than him, especially on the uphill sections!
