Founder & Owner of Top Tier Adventure

Matthew

My journey into the great outdoors began in high school, where I joined an after-school canoeing and climbing club—and I’ve never looked back. Since then, I’ve built a rewarding career in the outdoor activity industry, driven by a passion for adventure and personal growth.

​

With a degree in Outdoor Leadership and a wide range of professional qualifications—from rock climbing and abseiling to kayaking and canoeing—I’ve spent years helping individuals and groups explore nature in exciting, challenging, and rewarding ways.

​

What truly inspires me is using outdoor activities as a powerful tool for personal development. Whether it’s building confidence, improving teamwork, or overcoming mental and physical challenges, I believe the outdoors offers endless opportunities to empower people and help them thrive in everyday life.

have cultivated a strong passion for outdoor work since my childhood, beginning with school residential trips to outdoor centres. These experiences revealed the benefits that the outdoors can provide, leading me to pursue a career in this industry. I am currently enrolled in the BSc Outdoor Adventure program at the University of Ulster, where I aim to enhance my skills and knowledge across various facets of outdoor activities. My hope is to share these skills and experience to offer enriching and thrilling experiences to others.
