Catherine Buchanan

Catherine began her career with Redwings at the beginning of 2016 after the merger with Mountains Animal Sanctuary. Catherine joined Redwings Mountains as Visitors Manager, coming from a background in hospitality. Her role at that time was to oversee the visitor experience and to offer guidance and support to the lovely Visitor Centre team in delivering a lovely, fun, and educational day out for all the family.

In 2017 Catherine took on the role of Centre Manager and with that the responsibility of overseeing day to day operations here at Mountains. It’s been a real privilege to be able come into work every day to a job that’s so rewarding and being a part of a larger team dedicated to improving equine welfare UK wide. As a former horse owner, Catherine understand only too well the huge responsibility of keeping them fed and well looked after on a daily basis. When you consider just how many equines are under Redwings’ care, many with very complex care needs, that’s just mind boggling!

Catherine feel incredibly lucky to be able to be a part of that, in a role that can most definitely be described as her dream job. Where else can you go to work and be surrounded by lovely animals to care for, beautiful scenery and get to work alongside like-minded people?
