Our team

Steve joined the Cornwall Air Ambulance team in October 2018, although he has worked with the charity as a consultant since 2010 helping to deliver several major projects from the construction of the Operating Base and Charity HQ in Newquay to the selection of our current helicopter operator and procurement of new aircraft.

Having originally trained as an engineer and worked in the aviation sector since 1990, Steve has worked on the design, development and support of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as an engineer, project manager, in business development and as a business director for two large multinational aerospace companies.

In 2005, Steve and partner Avril setup their own consultancy business to deliver project and business management services. This has allowed Steve to work across a range of diverse projects, including Air Traffic Control Systems, the construction of Newquay Airport, train planning for Network Rail, new technologies for offshore wind turbines, innovative research projects in digital & data systems and building a Cornish pasty factory. Steve has also worked with a number of other air ambulance charities to deliver strategically important projects ranging from the selection of new aircraft, mobilising new areas of service delivery such as night flying, supporting the management of day to day operations, analysing operational data and establishing new models for delivery of clinical service. Steve hopes to bring this wealth of experience to support the ongoing development of Cornwall Air Ambulance.

Outside of work Steve enjoys spending time with family (Avril, Emily and Alasdair), walking their dogs, beard growing, cooking, gardening, classic car restoration and retro Volkswagen Campervans. Steve does not enjoy golf and as a result a hardly used set of clubs will soon be available to purchase at one of our charity shops.

With extensive and varied experience in Marketing and Communications, Stuart joined the Cornwall Air Ambulance team in July 2018 as our Senior Marketing Officer. Originally from Bournemouth, Stuart studied at university in Bristol before working as a Senior Marketing Executive in Bath. Nearly six years on and following the birth of his first child, Stuart re-located to Cornwall with his family in the Summer of 2017.

After working as the Marketing Manager for a successful Cornish Resort, he decided that he’d like to work towards a cause that he was truly passionate about, Cornwall Air Ambulance. In his spare time Stuart rarely sits still and can be found running, playing football, enjoying days at the beach and spending quality time with his family and friends.

Sue has been with Cornwall Air Ambulance since 2013 when she joined as a Relief Manager for all of the shops. She then became the Manager of the Superstore in Camborne and in February 2018 Sue began her role as Retail Assistant at headquarters in Newquay, helping Retail Area Manager Jo in the management of all the shops and retail activities.

Every day is different and Sue finds it immensely fulfilling to know that all the money raised goes to keeping the air ambulance flying. In her spare time Sue likes to get out and about around Cornwall, she loves visiting its lovely coastal villages and sampling the local food and beverages.

Timon moved to Cornwall 7 years ago after graduating from Brunel University with a Degree in Business and Management. He soon got a Job with Tesco in Launceston and worked on various departments from checkouts to warehouse and everything in between. After two years he transferred to the large Tesco in St Austell, where he worked on wines and spirits (so he can always recommend a good wine). This experience led him to his current role with Cornwall Air Ambulance at the St Austell superstore, where he enjoys meeting new people and raising funds, particularly for the New Heli Appeal.

In his spare time, Timon likes to go running and cycling around his small village in Bodmin Moor and exploring the various beaches and coastal paths around Cornwall. Timon is also enthusiastic about photography and enjoys taking pictures of the rugged Cornish landscape and the beautiful coastline, particularly the sunsets.
