Stories from our staff
Over my numerous years working at Stockvale I have worked across both the Rides department and Security, where I came top of the department in 2016! Having worked here for many years I have countless fond memories and stories to tell. I've met some of the best people here and have made friends of life too. It is no exaggeration when we refer to one another as a family.
Along my journey to become an Acting Team Leader I have been driven, inspired and pushed by many a people, from my first two team leaders in Jake L and Arron who have taught me a great deal. Upon my return last summer, I was told straight away I had the capabilities to be one of the top hosts at the company by Mr Jack Stockwell who showed me nothing but support, drive and inspired me into finishing 4th in the summer league.
I'd also like to say a huge thank you to all my managers and performance leaders who have helped me throughout as well as all my now fellow TLs who have backed me and helped me immensely. And lastly a huge shout out to my fellow Westies who have been fantastic, now let's get us on that stage again! Here's to the start of an exciting new chapter and thank you for reading!
Much love - Tommy T
I joined when I was 17 years old and started my journey as a ride host, I have since been part of the rides leadership team, the performance leader team and my current Treasury team.
Each role has taught me something different and played a big part of my journey and the team members along the way have been fantastic to work with and to lead. From my first ever team of east unders, you were all amazing, to my current team, you are also amazing and so hard working.
Working at Stockvale has been a big part of my life, I have met my wonderful partner Jake and best friend Elysia who have both supported and guided me along the way. I have made other lifelong friends and have years’ worth of memories.
When I started in 2011 I was only planning to stay a summer or 2 so I didn’t think that 10 years later I would be getting promoted to the full manager of the Treasury team.
I wasn’t keen on joining this department when it was first offered to me as it was something so different to what I was used to but I am so glad that I took that step and gave it ago, if I had any advice it would be don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, you never know where it might take you.
Zoe
Treasury Manager
My journey started all the way back in 2018 when I was thrown into the wonderful department of Rides East Unders. I waltzed in on my first day, was trained on the incredible Jumpin’ Jolly Rogers and my life completed changed. I instantly fell in love with being a ride host and with the incredible team that came along with it. Not long after I grew a bit older and found myself in the Rides East Overs department, which allowed me to finish off my training for all the rides on the East Side.
Most recently I did get the opportunity to broaden my horizons in the customer services team, with the lovely Larissa and Jacob. Thank you for helping me settle in, and welcoming me so warmly! You guys definitely made walking into a strange new environment so much easier.
It wouldn’t seem right talking about my journey without a special shout-out to the lights of my life, Matthew Mundy and Miss Isabelle Williams. You guys have helped me more than you could imagine during my 3 years at the Stockvale company! You guys make the rainy days seem the brightest, and it has been the biggest privilege to grow with you guys. So thank you both for being my reason to keep going, my rocks, and helping me stay positive.
I would also like to say a huge thank you to Mr Ellis Turffery for being the absolutely incredible human being that he is, leading me all these years. You have been a true inspiration for not only me but the entire east family! As well as the beautiful Georgia Poulton for pushing me to be the best Unders host I could be all those years ago. Without that guidance who knows if I would still be in the position I am now.
I guess that’s everything from me, I cannot wait to see what this new journey holds!
Just remember East is beast

By May I got promoted to team leader in the kitchen, which gave me more motivation and I realised I can achieve much more. With the support of great leaders and a fantastic team in the same year I went on to winning my 1st award as leaders leader. And from then with a lot of hard work, while still in Feelgoods I became supervisor and learnt all aspects of Feelgoods, including front of house, which helped to get to assistant manager and then acting manager and eventually went on to winning hosts manager award at Star Awards.
2 years ago I got offered a chance to move to Sands as the manager at the time was leaving. As sad as I was to be leaving the Feelgoods family and my work husband Lee, I couldn't say no to the opportunity of being able to learn more, take on a challenge and grow....and well something worked as I won another 2 awards as Manager's Leader and Most open to change in the 1st year there. Not only have I worked with the two restaurants I have bounced around a bit learning other catering outlets, how they run and other aspects of the catering department, spending most of our pandemic time in the Britannia this year.
I'll be very honest it's not always been the easiest road, but I do love what I do, I love the people I work with and the family I have gained, the opportunities. As a full manager now I can't wait to grow and learn even more and help my team grow to be the best that we can.
Obviously a massive thank you to James Gibbs and Courtney Bushell for being supportive and always giving me opportunities.
I've been a part of the Adventure Island family since 2015 ( I can hear a certain some one calling me a boomer now😂), going straight into Cashiers with the wonderful Margaret as my leader. I instantly fell in love with it and made some friends I'll cherish forever!
I decided I wanted to join the leadership team in 2016, I was so determined! As most of you know it took me a few, well 10 attempts to become an acting leader. But I understood every time I had more learning to do, picked myself up and tried even harder. Well a year later I finally did it!
I became a full team leader in 2018 and got my own team! The west cashiers! The cashiers is honestly like my second home but I love it! All of the guys I've seen come and go over the years have motivated me so much to become a better leader. Wouldn't be here without all of you!
I'm now very excited and thankful to be stepping into a new role, acting supervisor! I am incredibly eager to learn some new things!
I would like to personally thank a few people so bear with 😂
Lucy, Holly, George, Noah, Lee, Shannon, Lottie, Josh, Joe, Hollie and Nathan - you guys have helped me so much over the years and have truly inspired me! Don't know where I'd be without you!
Jacob, you have no idea how much you inspired me when you ran Cashiers. Your coaching is one of the many reasons I was so determined to become a leader.
Melissa and Elysia, your support, help and coaching has been phenomenal! You two have no idea how much you inspire me! Thank you for everything! I cannot wait to see what you teach me next!
Jake L, Jake R and James, thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to achieve. You have all helped me through some tough, busy days and I am so thankful for the coaching and feedback you give.
I'd also like to thank my team. Every single West cashier has inspired me and helped me get to where I am today! From welcoming you into the family to seeing you blossom into confident, funny, wonderful people! You all have helped me learn, grow and get to where I am today. I love you all and I can't thank you enough!
I cannot wait to see where this new role takes me!
Kayleigh
I want to thank James Gibbs, Courtney, Damian, Kai and all the other Managers and Leaders who have helped me progress to this role!
I started studying for my degree in Social Science in 2018 but have remained with the company during this time, working school and bank holidays! Over the past few years, I have also learn to lead the cashier departments, have taken the Adventure Golf and Ambassadors under my wing and have recently learnt the Treasury role!
I have gained so many valuable skills during my time working for Stockvale and what only started as a weekend job, has become a huge part of my life. I have made life-long friends and I’ve grown in confidence. I can’t thank all my managers enough for all the opportunities they have given me and thank you to all my friends within the leadership team who have made every moment a memorable one!
I was delight when I was informed I was being promoted to Acting Supervisor! I can’t wait to see what the future has in store❤️🎡🎢
Kind regards,

The entire catering leadership team is like a big family and are all willing to help each other with everything and work well together.
I have completed and passed the professional certificate in management, food hygiene courses, personal alcohol courses and many other courses which has helped me progress within the company.
I would like to thank James Gibbs and all of the catering leaders for helping me to become the Head of Catering.
Firstly I just want to say how grateful I am at being promoted to Acting Performance Leader. It’s a role I’ve always wanted to do whilst working at the Stockvale Group and very excited to get started!
My journey with the company began in 2014 when I returned home from university for the summer. I applied thinking it would be just a summer job, and how wrong I was. I fell in love with the work and the people who really feel like a family! I started as a Ride Host on East Overs, and under the leadership of Elysia, Andrew, Arron, Zoe and Charlotte, I quickly dominated the Stars Leagues, and won the Autumn Season of that year.
At the opening of the next season in 2015 I was promoted into the role of Acting Rides Team Leader on the East, learning East Unders, before very quickly being made a full Team Leader of East Overs. When Adventure Inside opened I was trained on all the Inside Rides, and continued to work throughout the year including Adventure Wonderland and working Inside during the weekdays on my days off from University.
In 2016, I learnt all the West Unders Rides and moved over to the West to become the Unders Team Leader which included Hollie and Lottie! In the summer of 2016 I trained alongside Arron to become the Park Rangers Leader before my departure from Stockvale in August 2016 to become a Freelance Stage Manager on Musicals and Plays.
With the COVID-19 pandemic currently closing theatres, I contacted James in July about returning to the Stockvale Group and without hesitation was offered a position as a Ride Host on West Overs A. Interesting fact, my first day back to Adventure Island this year was the exact same day I started in 2014! 20th July! I cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am at the opportunity of returning to such a wonderful company and joining such a wonderful team! West As I adore you all.
I am thrilled to be joining Melissa, Kennedy, Ciaran, Lizzie, Connor, Emily and Lee in the Performance Leaders department and cannot wait to see everyone making our guests the happiest they have ever been, in the safest possible environment to ensure their regular return and recommendation to others!
Now go out there and HAVE FUN!
My Stockvale journey doesn’t just stop there through Stars Awards I have received multiple awards for Best Leaders Manager, Best Host Manager, The new Idea generator and crowned the Catering King. I’ve also been nominated for other various categories as well through this I feel I am a hugely valued member of our team and continue to inspire and motivate others to be the best they can be. For me my proudest moment is when I see hosts I’ve helped nurture become some of the best Leaders across Catering!
A special thanks goes out to Courtney, James, Lucy and Marc all playing a massive part mentoring me through the years which has helped get me to where I am today!
Thanks,
Lee
Over the last 6/7 years I have learnt so much from my fellow managers. A Special shout to Jake Redfearn, Elysia Clack, Jake Lewis, Melissa Aylott & James Miller for the constant support and guidance.
Secondly I would like to thank my Supervisors and leaders I have been with for years now that continue to inspire me to work even harder: Nathan, Georgia, Isabelle, Jack Stockwell, Matt, Millie, Lee, Bobby and many more.
Thank you to everyone who I have worked with over the years, your work ethic and motivation is like no other. I look forward to being in my new role and very excited for the future years to come.
Ellis
Over the years i've developed a strong interest in the technical side of the machines, learning how they work and repairing them. This put me more in a background role, but my thanks go out to Marc and Molly, whose steadfast support and sheer determination has brought me this great opportunity as Arcades first Floor Technician!
Aidan
During my first season I adapted and become a consistent 90s and 100s scoring host in which I also was chosen to cross train on another department throughout this time. After my first season of working I placed in the top 10 with an average of 98+%. On the back of this my leaders Bobby and Emily really pushed me to work harder and allowed me to work at the best of my ability, allowing me to place 3rd in the next following season.
Since these achievements I’ve always pushed myself to work harder and to go out of my way approaching other leaders for help so that they can give me advice and a better understanding/ feel of what a team leader is.
I would just like to say how grateful I am for everyone and every leader who has helped along my journey and have supported me and pushed me every step of the way, as I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support I’ve had. I also want to thank Bobby and Emily for being incredible leaders teaching and coaching me because I wouldn’t have been able to be the host I am today without them.
Kelsey
I am coming up to my 1 year Adventure-versary, working at Adventure Island, this July. Despite having only been part of the team for a year , I have been connected with the adventure family for 18 years of my life, coming down at least once a year and so I have watched by as Adventure Island and I grew and changed. Ever since I was young, I knew that I wanted to work at Adventure Island as my first job and upon achieving this, I already felt so aligned with the company vision and mission.
Being an entertainer at heart, I wanted nothing more than to provide the best experience possible to as many people as I could and truly try to make their day, and I have been attempting to do this in various ways since I started.
Firstly, I would like to thank my first Team Leader Lottie as well as my trainer: TL Joe. You both started me off in the right direction, set a high bar of expectations for me and supported me from the very start; if it wasn’t for you both I would not be where I am now. I would also like to thank TL Shannon who I have spent the most time with recently. You have been a great help for me to continue striving to find new ways to entertain customers and go beyond what I was already capable of, and also helping me to be prepared for leadership and believe in myself that I could do it. TL Josh, the same goes for you. I spent a great deal of time with you as my leader - before the most recent lockdown especially. It was really refreshing and eye-opening to see a host transition to a leader for the first time and you were the first sign to me that I could potentially be capable of the same, and that pushed me to be more determined to achieve that goal.
Second to last, I would love to give a massive credit to the family that has been formed consisting of the East, West and Inside cashiers all together. Thanks to this dynamic, everyone collectively has kept me going through thick and thin and played a role into my improvement as a host and as a person. And our competitive natures just made me want to do even better. The familial bond we have made allows for a truly authentic and fun experience for us and customers alike - which is what made me fall in love with the job in the first place. Honestly Thank You. You guys mean the world to me and I can’t wait to lead you. You’re such an amazing team.
Of course there are many more people that I would like to thank for just being there, and helping me to believe in myself and develop real confidence, but I would like to give specific gratitude to the managers - especially James, Melissa and Elysia. Ever since my first day, you all made me feel so welcome and i felt so lucky to be part of what was more than just a work place, and was a family. Since day 1 you all supported me and inspired me to keep striving to do better each time I saw you. I am so grateful for the opportunity you have all given me. I can’t wait to show you that you have made the right decision. And I can’t wait to start my leadership journey with the all of the amazing cashiers.
Tyler
Following my first season I wanted to progress into a leadership role and worked closely with an amazing group or team leaders and senior managers to progress further as I always wanted to lead a team. After a season of being a team leader and working hard to improve I got promoted to Catering Supervisor at the Three Shells.
Shortly after it clicked that I wanted to stay within the company as there were great opportunities for progression and further learning. After another year I was promoted to Assistant Manager of the Three Shells.
Sadly two years ago I suffered a freak accident involving my hand playing football and even with the amazing support of the catering team and senior management, my physical and mental health deteriorated. I then left the company to pursue different avenues that were easier to manage since this accident.
After two years I had worked on myself to learn how to deal with the challenges my injury faced me and came back to Adventure Island as a Catering team leader.
Since coming back I've been working hard again to improve and to progress again and I have recently been promoted up to acting Assistant Manager. I would just like to thank my amazing team and catering managers for all the support they have provided me since coming back and I'm now looking forward to a long and bright career within the Stockvale Group.
It's genuinely a joy to be working in the company again, I have never worked for a company who genuinely cares about the well being and support of their staff and the inclusively the company provides.
Kind regards,
Christopher
This is where we start, my first year as the full Team leader of the West Under’s which consisted of a clean sweep of the stars league with the team winning each PL League from each season. This year made me as a leader and was where I learnt so much that I now apply to my leadership!
I honestly am so grateful for being offered this next step as well as being offered such an opportunity to progress within the company so thank you all!
I’d like to thank the management team , for helping me so so much along the way, whether it is perfecting the light house re slip or just improving my time management, you guys have always been there for me so thank you all!
I would like to thank the current leadership team and everyone around me! You guys all inspire me so much and allow me to have that drive to better myself and improve my leadership in any way shape or possible so thank you guys! You are all fantastic!
But my biggest thank you has to go to my current team and my team of last year! Without you guys I would have never been offered this opportunity! I honestly cannot thank you all enough for how hard you work and how much you give to the team and your jobs! Your work ethic is unmatched guys and I genuinely couldn’t have a better team to lead and help propel myself forward so thank you guys! And it makes me so proud that all your hard work has not gone unnoticed with some of you now stiving to be leaders or even being one now yourself! I love you all!
I honestly cannot thank everyone enough for your support and offering me this new step within my path and I hope I don’t let you down!
Thank you all
Bobby
I would like to thank James Gibbs, Courtney Bushall, Damian Parzelski, Eden Yexley and many more for helping me achieve this new role.

I started working with Stockvale in August 2020 at adventure island as a cashier. Fast forward to August 2021 and I was asked to come down and train as part of the Sealife retail and admissions team. I was lucky enough to be promoted and I’m looking forward to the new adventure as Acting Team leader!
Special Thanks to TLs Matt and Tilly for helping me achieve those high scores and putting up with me, and obviously big up the Chip Shop staff (all amazing people to work with).
Merci beaucoup, mes amis 🙂
More recently I have been offered the position of Acting Living collections Manager with Stockvale. I am extremely excited about this opportunity not only manage an incredible team of keepers but also be directly responsible for all the lovely animals we have on site. I would like to thank my whole team for continued support and for working so incredibly hard to maintain such an incredible site. I can’t wait to see what the future holds continuing this journey with Stockvale.
Thanks!
Rhian
These blurbs don’t come naturally to me so I’m going to keep it short and sweet.
I’ve been at Sealife for a little over 3 years and was brought in originally to work with the expanding mammal collection on site. Previously I’ve studied at 2 uni’s, worked at a number or animal collections, most recently tropical wings, as well as having a handful of other odd jobs.
I’m always up for learning new skills and have very much enjoyed applying my zoo knowledge in an aquarium setting as well as gaining experience in a whole new field. My aim is to approach this new role with the same intent and attitude with which I approach all new challenges. With a little help from the Sealife team and my awesome peers in the displays team I’ll rise to this task.
Enjoy
Nick.
I recently received my promotion to Full Team Leader. I began my Stockvale journey back in summer 2019 after i finished my GCSE’s and was hired as a catering host in The Green. As it came around to Christmas time i was offered an opportunity to extend my contract working in Feelgoods. I was greeted by such a kind group of hosts and leaders who made me feel welcomed from day 1. After a few months working as a waitress in Feelgoods i was encouraged by my manager Lee to apply for the TL position. I never really thought too much about applying previously, but after all the encouragement and my consistent scoring of 90’s+ i was determined to at least give it a try. And good thing i did !
In September of 2020 i was promoted to an Acting Leader and have been acquiring so much more knowledge and skills about the company and being a leader ever since. Since being an acting leader, I’ve had opportunities to work in and lead other catering outlets within the park such as The Green, Hot Dog Bar and Milkshake Bar. In September 2021 i was promoted to a full team leader,, but i don’t think i would have achieved this without the support of my peers and fellow leaders. Massive shout out to Lee Jones, Dan Pinder, Louise Gale for being such supportive leaders from the start.
Thank you!
A big shout out too both Courtney and Cozza who have given me the confidence to be a good leader. A big shout out too all the leaders, supervisors and managers in the catering team who are basically like a massive family that undoubtedly are always there for each other through everything.
And lastly, a shout out too all the staff who I’ve worked with, without them I wouldn’t be able to be the person and leader I am today. Without the staff I work with, I wouldn’t be who I am today. So a big thank you too those of them that inspire me and motivate me every single day.
Throughout the last year I’ve had so much fun leading the Candy/Karts team whilst working with some of the best hosts and some of the best people I’ve ever met!
I would like to say a massive thank you to James Gibbs, Courtney Bushell and my fellow leaders who have supported and encouraged me to work to the best of my abilities and achieve full Team Leader.
My first day I was excited yet nervous at the same time but was happy to start a new adventure! After working there for roughly a year and a half and going from sands bistro to sands by the sea I got promoted to team leader. I was happy and surprised but also thankful for the opportunity to prove myself. After a couple more years I am a supervisor and still loving every second of my job! And can’t wait to see what happens in the future.
I’d like to give a massive thanks to James and Courtney for pushing me and being there every step of my journey and always supporting me! I’d also like to thank the sands team for making my time here absolutely brilliant as it’s made me into the person I am today!
Thanks for listening,

In September 2020 I was promoted to an Acting Team Leader, and in September 2021 I was promoted to full Team Leader.
This promotion meant the absolute world to me as I get the joy of helping singers practise songs to perform in the restaurant, and it is so rewarding to see the progress that people are making as they exceed their own expectations. Being a Team Leader has also offered me so many opportunities, such as working in a kitchen and occasionally being in charge of running the Milkshake Bar.
Working for Adventure Island has also allowed me to make friends for life and has provided memories that will stay with me forever, such as singing at the Cliffs Pavillion.
The flexibility of the job is also perfect as currently I am able to complete my degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Swansea, and come back and work as a Leader during the holidays.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me, believed in me, and pushed me to apply for a leadership position. I would also like to give a special thank you to the Feelgoods Team who not only make my job so much fun, but are some of the best people I have ever met!
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Rachael
West b was now my new home, I've had so many great memories one of them has to be winning top department in the overall league and being on the stage of stars and breaking the pattern of feelgood. In 2020 I was thinking of going for team leader and my work colleague encouraged me to go for and saying how I would make a great leader one day, I've had so much help for my team and my team leader to push me to become the person I am today, I didnt think I could do but with lots of 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring in October 2021 I've made it to acting team leader.
I’ve worked at Stockvale since 2017. It’s hard to think I started as a ride host on the drop and smile and have made it to where I am now. I’m extremely excited to have been promoted to Acting Assistant Manager.
I cannot thank the Performance Leader Team enough for always supporting me no matter what and pushing me to always be my best! I’d like to also thank everyone that I have worked with over the last 4 and a bit years whether it was as a host, a team leader or a performance leader. You’re all absolute gems and I love you all endlessly.
A lot of thank yous but I especially have to thank Georgia and Bobby for always pushing me to do better. Finally a big thank you to all the managers that I have worked with- it’s been a dream.
I’d especially like to thank Melissa, James, Ciaran, Connor, Lee, Jake R, Elysia, Jake L and Ellis for always supporting me as a Team Leader as well as a Performance Leader.
All the love,
Emily 💜
I have been very fortunate to train on so many amazing departments! Each of them has helped me to learn new skills. I have loved every second of learning so many new things from some truly inspiring people. It has given me so many responsibilities within the company and has made me found the love to help any department which I may lead.
Though I have been lucky enough to have my own team of Photos and Golf, the team have helped me by inspiring me to want to do better.
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me get to where I am. The company has helped me in so many ways and the progression which I have made; I could not have done it without the amazing management team, leadership team and all the rides teams which have helped me every step of the way. I cannot wait to see what my future holds in the company as an acting supervisor.
Thank you, Lauren xx
For the majority of summer 2021, I had then been given the responsibility to run and motivate my own team, The Green. Working with many different people and helping to motivate them to be the best they possibly can be, is something I have enjoyed a lot in the last year. Moving onto September 2021, I was then promoted to a Full Team Leader, which I am extremely grateful for.
However, I couldn’t have done this without all the leaders I have worked alongside, James and Courtney and The Green, thank you to you all!
