I joined the team back in December 2015 as a driver and maintenance man and although these tasks still fall within my remit as a manager you’ll now also see me doing everything from organising lift passes to cooking breakfasts. Prior to joining Hucksters, I worked as a mechanical engineer in the UK and although I enjoyed many of the technical challenges I was never really content with the nine-to-five desk job. Now “work” can be absolutely anything running a chalet throws at you, it doesn’t have set hours and it’s never, never dull. Whether that be welcoming in the next weeks guest with a late dinner at midnight or an airport run driving through the Tarentaise valley at 5 o’clock, just as the sun is rising, it never fails to put a smile on my face.
So why do I love the lifestyle so much? Well of course, as anyone who has stayed with us can testify, the Mont Blanc chalet’s privileged location with stunning views doesn’t hurt! I never tire of seeing the winter season come and go, just being here is the first bonus and something I truly love.
