SPEAKER PROFILE

Tristram Mayhew

Co-Founder and Chief Gorilla at Go Ape

Theatre: Seven Pillars of a Better Business Workshop

 

Go Ape has seen more than 2m people complete its 27 tree-top adventure courses across Britain, and last year opened a course at Rock Creek Regional Park in Maryland, America. The company had sales reaching £ 11.2m in 2010. 

 

2011 will see Go Ape expanding further into Forest Segways, Forest Biking, cafés, and additional Tree Top Adventures worldwide.

 

Tristram co-founded the company in 2002 with his wife, Rebecca, after an inspirational holiday in the Auvergne National Forest in France.  He was previously a captain in the British Army, and last year took a four month ‘now or never’ sabbatical to travel with his young family.

 

His business card title is Chief Gorilla and he sees himself as an adventurepreneur rather than a businessman.

 

The Go Ape vision: "Creating adventure; encouraging others to live life adventurously"
