Mark Soanes - Call of the Wild

Mark Soanes

Director

Since 1998 Call of the Wild has helped a wide range of clients, from diverse industries, to develop their leaders and the teams they lead.

Call of the Wild is an independently-owned, limited company set up by  friends who have grown up together and share a passion for experiential learning and development. They are local lads who have known each other since school. Having studied at University, they  returned to their home town to develop a business which encompassed their interests.

Now many years on Call of the Wild has grown into a business that employs over 30 people, owns a 70 acre residential training centre and accommodation with a cafe/bar. These all contribute greatly to the local economy.

Working with Karoline my learning coach has been a pleasure. She has been a tremendous support to me in helping me achieve my long ambition of gaining my ILM L5. For this I will be forever grateful. This is my second Apprenticeship with Call of the Wild and I have had a positive experience on both occasions. Everything runs smoothly with timely communication.

Undertaking this ILM L5 has supported development in my role. I have learned so much along the journey, and it has helped me develop my skills as a manager and become more confident and effective as a result. I have and will take much away from this learning experience and will recommend Call of the Wild to colleagues in the future

Thank you
