Darryl Wilson - CEO, Marketing Manager
Eldest son of company founders, John and Lynette Wilson, Darryl is a 7th generation local of the Nelson region. From holidays at the family "bach" at Torrent Bay, Darryl moved into guiding and helped his father build the family's lodges on the Abel Tasman coast. A marine engineering apprenticeship took him away from home for a while, but he soon came back to the family business.
