PLI Instructors.
All of our Instructors are selected on the basis of their personal integrity, as well as their ability to deliver the material in an engaging fashion. A presentation Team will usually comprise one UK Director assisted by two Instructors.
Richard Wiggins (picture right), himself an Instructor, conducts much of the administration that keeps the Pointman Teams on the move. He will be involved in much of the practical arrangements.
Other UK Instructors:
- Don Axcell, Nigel Brown, Julia Jaegar, Chris Weigold
- Don Yonge, Paul Bright and Nigel Newman.
