A keen rifleman and hunter from an early age, George's passion for country sports and the environment shaped his career. Growing up on the Graythwaite estate, he developed a deep interest in deer stalking and deer management, integral to his commitment to conserving rare breeds.
With a long-held ambition to restore the shoot to its former glory, George, supported by his Head Keeper, has achieved remarkable success over the past eight years. Operating within a nature recovery project, his efforts have not only revitalized the shoot but also increased guest demand and enhanced the experience for all who visit the estate. This pioneering development marks an exciting trajectory for Graythwaite.
