Alison has a First Class Honours Degree in Classical studies, with a teaching background and 17 years experience in Heritage Education. She also has fully enhanced DBS clearance and Public Liability Insurance.

Andy and Alison were colleagues from 2008, working at museums, schools, archaeology sites and public events across the North West, bringing history to life to a wide range of audiences. Their academic backgrounds in History, teaching & the ability to engage audiences lent themselves perfectly to becoming passionate Heritage Educators.

In 2013 Andy and Alison launched Makers of History together, offering teachers Living History in the classroom with no need for expensive coach fees and complicated risk assessments. They have worked with more than 50, 000 children in hundreds of primary schools, making sure that National Curriculum objectives are covered using a fun, interactive and hands-on approach. Please see the Testimonials page to read just some of the many positive comments they have received about our workshops. While Andy is hanging up his helmet to pursue a quieter retirement, Alison will continue to offer half day workshops across the North West, ensuring the magic of Makers of History continues!
