Daniel has loved pond building & Koi Carp his whole life, working with his Grandad on ponds as a child in Bedfordshire. He fell in love with the tranquility that ecosystem ponds bring to any garden and pursued his love of creating ponds as a career.
Daniel trained in the US at the Aquascape Inc. 'Aquascape University' in Chicago Illinois, to Certified Aquascape Contractor status, with "The Pond Guy" Greg Whitstock, Aquascape Inc. Founder. Afterwards, he worked closely alongside award winning, UK Pond expert Mark Wilson "The Pond Advisor" at Any Ponds Ltd and at their UK Pond College in Northampton. He progressed rapidly to Master Certified Aquascape Contractor status in 2020 which he continues to hold year on year. Both of Daniel's mentors are world experts in the ecosystem pond industry, and are seen regularly by thousands of pond enthusiasts on YouTube.
With his natural creative flair and his attention to detail, Daniel takes his aquatic art seriously. The detail matters in Daniel's pond craft, from the placing of every rock by hand, to the choice and positioning of each aquatic plant or decorative natural tree stump.
He cares about his ecosystem water feature designs for our customers, and focuses on creating beautiful natural looking water features for them to enjoy. The artistic use of forest & tree inspired elements in his aquatic water feature work comes naturally to Daniel living close to a National Trust forest, and is his signature touch.
Daniel loves his job immensely and takes pride in his Brit Ponds natural water creations and after care customer services. When not creating or pottering around water features, he can be found relaxing by his own ecosystem ponds at home with Koi carp, his family and his beloved dogs for company.
Whilst Daniel is out creating natural ponds with rocks, gravel and aquatic plants Sarah can be found back at HQ running the business side of Brit Ponds and engaging with our customers. A lover of the British countryside and a good country pub, when not working Sarah is often found out walking the Chilterns AONB with her 3 dogs in tow or out horse riding with her daughter.
