Gordon

Tandem Skydive Instructor and MD

Total Jumps

Gordon founded GoSkydive back in 2008. After meeting a group of passionate skydivers in a bar in the states, Gordon gave the sport a go and never looked back. After spending many years skydiving in South Africa and the US, Gordon was disappointed by tandem-skydiving centres in the UK and thought he could deliver a much higher level ‘end-to-end’ customer experience. GoSkdive is now the UK’s only specialist tandem skydiving centre and by the end of this year over 55,000 people will have jumped with us.

What customers say about this instructor:

Gordon spent a lot of time with me following the training, I was really nervous but he really helped to reassure me and put my nerves to rest. I'm so glad I pushed through the nerves.
