Allyson Williams

Administration Officer

Expand

Allyson joined the Foundation in 2006 and is usually the first person you will talk to at the Foundation on the phone or if coming to our office. Initially employed to assist with administration tasks in general for the Foundation, the rapid expansion of the Passport meant her role quickly developed more towards the day to day running of the fishing scheme, advising anglers on how and where to book. Recently, she has also started co-ordinating and designing websites for affiliate organisations.
