SUE HEWITT
Assistant Kennel Manager
Sue Hewitt joined the Buccleuch Kennel at Chapel as Assistant Kennel Manager in September 2008. She comes from Lincolnshire, and has a grown-up son and daughter who are remaining there in the family home. Sue’s husband, Wayne, works for Conoco Phillips but will stay with her at Chapel when onshore.
Sue was brought up with working dogs from a very early age. Her father was a local wildfowler spending his time organising working tests locally, trialling with retrievers, and picking up and the young Sue often joined him while out training the dogs. She always kept working dogs but it is only in recent times that she has been able to get out again on a regular basis either beating or working the dogs. She also helped out at tests held by her local Gundog Clubs and helped gamekeepers through the summer months with rearing, pen maintenance etc.
Previously, Sue was employed working with profoundly handicapped children concentrating particularly on their mobility. Other positions include working with British Telecom and retail. She brings with her a variety of skills, knowledge and experience which can only enhance her work at the Kennel. Sue is thrilled to have this wonderful opportunity to join the Buccleuch Kennel, and in particular work with David Lisett, in what she sees as her ‘dream job’ – working with such excellent dogs full-time as part of a successful team.
