Evertrek Yetis

Andy set up EverTrek after a trip to Nepal and returned to Wales eager to not only help the country by supporting local trade but also open up opportunities for avid adventurers to get out of their comfort zone and test their physical limits in the Himalayas and beyond. His obvious love and passion for the mountains and outdoors feeds down to the tight knit EverTrekker community and the day to day running of the business. His goal is to inspire people to not only reach the summits of mountains or trek to places like Everest Base Camp but also love the journey along the way, as he put's it 'It's all about the journey'.

Dave is hugely experienced in high altitude trekking and is an integral part of the EverTrek team in the UK. Whether he is out exploring in Nepal, Tanzania or Morocco or keeping close to his routes in the Welsh hills on a wet and windy trail - he's seen it all! He's also no stranger to getting out on the bike trail (and he's got the injuries to prove it!) As his Yeti name suggests, Dave is partial to getting in the tattoo studio for something new, whether it's a one eyed cartoon pigeon or something more spiritual. Dave is largely involved with the BEST part of EverTrek - the trips! And making you sure your adventures are as awesome as they can be!

Jen is rarely seen by most EverTrekkers so if you spot her you can count yourself lucky that you've seen the snow leopard of the EverTrek Yeti world. This is because Jen is overseeing the inner workings of EverTrek to make sure you EverTrekkers and the Yetis have the best experience possible. She also plays a part in the content you see over in your inbox or socials, so you might see more of her than you realise! Although the 'Lesser Spotted Yeti', she's also nicknamed the 'Jenerator' for her knack of coming up with cool ideas and new things for our EverTrekkers. She's basically an all-round pro and keeps all the ducks in a row!

Sophie grew up surrounded by mountaineering and the outdoors…Here weekends and holidays were spent hiking, scrambling, camping, cycling and exploring in the French and Swiss Alps, Iceland, Norway and pretty much everywhere in the UK! As her Yeti name suggests, if she isn’t at HQ helping EverTrekkers with their trips, she spends a lot of time riding her horse in the Shropshire Hills. You may also find her hibernating with some good music and book in her down-time. Her dream is to convert a van and road-trip around Europe for a few months, taking her dog with her of course. She also wants to broaden her travels to the rest of the world and tick off her (very long) bucket list!

Our Dancing Yeti Vicky has done her fair bit of travelling in South East Asia, South America and Europe as well as spending 6 years in Denmark as a preschool teacher. Her love for the outdoors and the mountains brought her to EverTrek where she brings a huge amount of high-altitude trekking experience having trekked extensively in South America to places like Machu Picchu in Peru & Cotopaxi in Ecuador as well as numerous remote treks in the Andes. If we can drag her away from the dance floor performing anything from jazz, ballet, burlesque or even cheerleading she'll be chatting to EverTrekkers preparing for their treks at HQ or exploring the rugged Welsh mountains in her spare time.

Prior to joining the EverTrek team, Lauren worked and lived in the Netherlands. Knowing that there are not too many mountains in the Netherlands she opted for Wales and worked at the University Hospital of Wales. Lauren now looks after all our EverTrekkers prearrival information, making sure everyone arrivals safely and has an awesome trip!

Trudy lives up to her name as 'Wanderlust Yeti,' having lived abroad for many years in Turkey and Germany. Although she's a Yorkshire Lass at heart, she's settled down with her family in Herefordshire, not far from our EverTrek office. Trudy loves a classic road trip, especially around Europe, horse riding, and spending time in the outdoors with her family, especially in the Lake District. Her bucket list dreams include travelling to America and most of all, heading to South America and taking on Machu Picchu.

Jess, our Trailblazer Yeti is often seen out and about on adventures with her beloved Jack Russell Terrier Leia (And yes she's a princess). Heading up our finance team, she brings the magic with the numbers with her unique blend of conquering both mountains and Excel spreadsheets. Jess has a huge passion for the outdoors, being an EverTrekker before joining the Yeti team at the beginning of 2024 after taking on Everest Base Camp. When she's not navigating numbers, you can find her running trails, hiking through stunning landscapes, or enjoying quality time with 'Princess Leia' and always with a cup of coffee in hand.

Anuj manages all of the Nepal operations and liaises with our Painted Yeti Dave and rest of the team making sure all of the on the ground logistics are put in place for each trip and expedition. Anuj has traveled extensively around most of Asia and Europe, having lived and studied in Austria for a number of years. He has a Masters’ degree in Innovation & Tourism Management in Austria with his dissertation research focusing on “Making Adventure Tourism Sustainable- A case study of Everest area” and also has a Bachelors degree in Commerce. He has been inspirational in creating our plans to reduce the plastic use on all of our treks by introducing purified water filters on each trek. Although he could be labeled the 'Biker Yeti' with his love of motorbikes, Anuj is also a huge fan of sky diving. He organised and ran the team which completed the World record for highest parachute landing on Mt Baruntse (6150m in 2019 where his brother made the landing and he also runs regular skydiving events over the Everest region in November each year.
