As well as being responsible for purchasing in materials for a busy manufacturing company, he currently holds responsibility for the Health and Safety of the staff, as well as being the appointed person for First Aid. Previously he has worked in the outdoor industry as an Activity Instructor for a large corporation, as well as freelancing for smaller companies working on water, land and wheels! His passion for the outdoors started in Mountain Biking at the age of 15, living within a comfortable ride of the North York Moors. At university he began paddling and now holds leadership awards in both canoe and kayak. Both at work and in the outdoors, Pete has more first-aid experience than he would perhaps like to recall&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mysticrivercoaching.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mystic-rRiver-3.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mystic River Ltd was founded in 2021 by Andrew Boyd and Peter Grant.
