“View from the Pool” is a distinctive series of conversation podcasts between Poolview’s Robin McGloughlin and his guests, who uniquely have all been Lifeguards at some point in their career.

This weeks podcast features David Ashbridge - Operational Delivery Manager with Hambleton District Council.

We explore Davids journey from becoming a 16 year old Lifeguard, through all his various career moves until his current position.

Always a local authority man, David shares his experiences with Quest, mystery shoppers, a tragic drowning, the pandemic and his hopes for the future and the recovery process.

David has a wonderful laid back but driven way of looking at and handling life. I really enjoyed the conversation with this affable Yorkshireman.
