Meet the Team

  • Linda Schulz

    Managing Director

    I have been involved with Airedale since the turn of the century when my partner David Kettell became a partner, serving as shareholder and director for many years, whilst bringing up our children and creating a rather lovely art gallery. In 2018 I stepped in as MD and began running the company.

    Despite the pandemic, Airedale is stronger than ever, and we are really looking forward, with customer care and satisfaction paramount. I could not hope for a better team to help me face an exciting future.

    I love travelling, walking, my three children, our dog Billie and of course Orla, my cat.

  • Mary Mobley

    Administration Assistant

    I have worked in HR for several years, covering all aspects of the processes involved in HR. I would do inductions for new staff as well as being the PA to the MD and senior directors. Organising hospitality for overseas visitors, booking hotels, ordering phones and laptops for new sales staff were just a few of the tasks I undertook. Also, keeping up to date records of occupational health information.

    Before that I worked in marketing, attending roadshows, organising events, marketing material and updating sales systems. I have a strong administrative background and enjoy working in a team environment.

    Outside of work I love to spend time with my family, grand children & my beloved dog Doris. I love to travel and find hidden gems throughout the UK & Europe.

  • Billie

    Chief Food Inspector

    I joined Airedale in 2022 as Chief Food Inspector, and take my role VERY seriously. You will always find me sniffing for crumbs and raw mushrooms are my only dislike. You may hear me sometimes in the background on the phone saying hello!

  • JM - Alton Health & Fun Club in Hampshire – Botanical / Coach

    A very big thank you to Airedale, particularly Jo, Lesley and Steph for organising a brilliant holiday to Norfolk. Everyone on the tour thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are anxious to hear news of our 2022 holiday

  • Michael Rofe - National Trust Southport & Formby Association

    One of the best things about Airedale is their personal administration service. All the worry is taken away bookings and payments are sent directly to Airedale, saving me a lot of work. The Airedale staff are always helpful, friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble.

  • Joan Smith

    A big thank you to you all for making it easier to organise this holiday. I have been dealing with you for over 30 years and have always been given help with queries promptly and willingly. How you manage it all I can’t imagine, but you always do an excellent job.
