Sue Jenkins

Retail Assistant

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.

Thomas Hennessy Jones

Paramedic

Tom joined us in July as a Critical Care Paramedic. Originally from Tipperary, Ireland, Tom moved to England 10 years ago to train as a paramedic in London. He then went on to work in London for 2 years, before joining the East of England Ambulance Service in the Hazardous Area Response Team.

He joined Essex and Herts Air Ambulance in 2016, and saw an opening at Cornwall Air Ambulance. He was attracted to the location and job role, as well as the opportunity to develop his critical care skills. He is looking forward to developing the training and pushing the boundaries of the care we can provide in the hope that patients will be able to receive more specialist care on board.

Timon Hewlett

Assistant Shop Manager- St Austell

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.
