The Team

Bought up at Stockton, Barney spent the 1990’s working in London as an investment banker before returning to Stockton in 1999 and developing the shoot from a family affair to what it is today. He is worryingly passionate about shooting and takes huge pride in running an efficient but friendly day.

Jonti joined the team in 2017 from a previous existence as a chicken buyer. Having grown up helping his father with the family syndicate he is familiar with all aspects of managing a shoot and hosting days. At 6’ 7” he is tall enough that no-one argues with him on a shoot day.

Kevin started at Stockton in 1976 and has seen many changes in that time. He has been instrumental at building up Stockton Shoot and he and Barney reckon they have created nearly 100 different drives in that project. He moved to run Ballington in 2018.

Paul joined in 2005 and has had a particular influence in developing the pheasant shooting on the Stockton beat as well as the rearing operation.

Arronne joined in 2012 initially to work on the rearing field and has taken over the Codford beat when Kevin moved to Ballington.

Sam started in 2021 having learnt the ropes with his father Paul

Gordon joined in 2005. He is responsible for the Deptford beat.

Mark joined in 2016. As well as under keeper at Ballington, he is the Transport Manager responsible for ensuring all our vehicles are compliant with our Minibus Operators Licence.

Craig joined in 2022 from a degree in Criminology from Keele University

Mackenzie joined in 2019 and runs the Chitterne Beat
