A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US
Hi, I'm Jane - the J in JP Orkney!
I have fond childhood memories of the island, while Paul enjoyed adventure holidays here. When an opportunity came up for us to move to Orkney we jumped at the chance, knowing our son would grow up in a place rich and diverse in natural wonders.
We're based in Birsay, right by the beach. Our favourite pastimes are groatie buckie hunting, and chatting to the colony of seals relaxing in the bay. Ask us for our top tips on finding a groatie buckie! I have 15 years' hospitality experience, and in 2001 moved to Beijing as a Management Trainee and International Relations Officer. I became very aware of the demands of arranging tours and the needs of holiday guests. After moving back to the UK I spent ten years teaching Nutrition and Home Economics. I'm a bit of a geeky foodie to have by your side on a field trip, pride myself on being a helpful host and a friend to the hospitality trade. My qualifications include:

Hi, I'm Paul and I have more than 20 years' customer-facing experience working in several industries.
In my spare time I went back to school and spent a year studying at the University of Highlands and Islands. As a result I am now a fully accredited member of the Scottish Tourist Guide Association and a proud member of the Orkney Tourist Guide Association.
As well as spending time exploring Orkney on land, I love to get in the sea and am a member of the wild swimming group Orkney Polar Bears (if you ask, you can meet the other bears). You can often find me in just my shorts swimming in the Atlantic or the North Sea. I also like to get the paddle board out and float around shipwrecks.
Along with Jane, we're here to help you experience and savour flavours, independence and time, bringing you the best Orkney has to offer.
