Jo Davy

Having worked in the payroll industry for more than 20 years, Jo was becoming fed up of the commute and working inside all day. She says taking the opportunity to qualify as a Nordic Walking Instructor was the best career move she made.  Jo indulges her passion of planning and leading walks  to places and on trails that walkers have not been to.
