It all began back in 2021 when Pat established PDK Education, operating under the umbrella of Willowbank CIC. Pat's inspiration sprang from a family camping expedition and a fervent enthusiasm for angling and outdoor education. Pat, leveraging years of experience in the education sector, including the position of Deputy Head, laid the groundwork for Willowbank Generation.

In the following year, 2022, Pat's path intersected with Elizabeth, an esteemed educator with a distinguished career spanning outdoor education, specialised teaching, and mainstream education. Their collaboration marked the launch of Willowbank Generation. Serving as the central pillar supporting both Willowbank Generation and Bee Free On The Farm, this entity guarantees the provision of exceptional outdoor education.
