Alex Haslehurst

Alex graduated from the BA (Hons) Outdoor Activities Management at University of Derby Buxton in 2008. He chose to study at Buxton as it’s situated in the Peak District National Park which has many outdoor opportunities including walking, climbing, mountain biking, paragliding, kayaking and canoeing opportunities. The course provided him with a fundamental understanding of outdoor related activities which has helped him progress to a career into the outdoor industry.

He said: "Although it’s tough industry to work in it’s one of the most rewarding ones with fun packed and engaging work. Motivated and dedicated students will get the most out of this course plus Buxton is centrally located to access Snowdonia and the Lake District."

Alex is currently working as a Regional Sales Representative, for the only UK based manufacturer of climbing hardware DMM Climbing. His role covers a range of activities from organising climbing events to selling products in their retail outlets.
