Collection coordinator · Bracken Isle

Iain

Iain coordinates the collections on Bracken Isle and is Eddie’s local colleague. He is practical and good at planning ahead, and he knows the quiet winter routine as well as the much busier summer.

“We plan for the busy weeks, not only the quiet morning.”

What he’s known for

Planning ahead. When Eddie says the island looks quiet, Iain shows him the summer picture: planning starts before the queue arrives.

His tip for home

Fill a refillable bottle at home before a day out, instead of buying one drink after another.
