Another staff success story as our apprentice, Ashley, becomes a fully qualified member of the maintenance team!
Ashley Owston began his Folly adventure in 2019 when he was a part time member of the Folly Farm team, working on weekends and school holidays within the operations department.

After finishing his education, an opportunity became available where Ashley was able to work full time at the park within the maintenance team, as part of an apprenticeship scheme. Over the last two years, Ashley has been studying for his qualification, attending college once a week and working onsite, undertaking hands on, practical work under the supervision, guidance and experience of his fellow peers.
Fast forward to 2024 and Ashley has now completed his college qualification and has started his journey working in the maintenance team full time! It just goes to show that hard work pays off…Congratulations Ashley!
Ashleigh enjoys flying light aircrafts in his spare time!
