As director of Simply First Aid Piers Osborne has taken on this exciting role after years of preparation. Having started in the leisure industry working with children and babies, he moved to education where he spent 9 years lecturing on a range of further, higher and community education courses for the Sports, Early Years and Community Studies departments.

He left this role to get out of the class room and into informal education through outdoor activities.

Almost since it's inception Piers has been a member of Cornwall Search and Rescue Team helping to prepare it's medics as the Medical Training Officer. He had the privilege to work with some extraordinary people until a relocation forced him to step down. He was also a member of Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Lifesaving Club and Watergate Bay Surf Lifesaving Club and an active member of the Scout Movement.

As well as specialising in outdoor and wilderness first aid he continues to specialise in paediatric first aid and education.

Over the years Piers has worked with a number of First Aid training providers , including the Red Cross, Royal Life Saving Society and St John Ambulance, to deliver First Aid and Casualty Care across Europe and Australia.

 Louise Hewison has been with us since 2006 and in that time has helped to shape the company and take us in the right direction.

She has been involved in teaching and assessing first aid and lifesaving which she sees an extremely vital life skill especially when she indulges in her passion for kite surfing and surfing. She still enjoys escaping the city to get a quick wave in North Devon and Cornwall, but prefers the warmth of South West France!
