Stuart Rose - Company Director

Stuart graduated in geological sciences from Leeds University in 1994 prior to taking up a post as a well site geologist offshore in the North Sea. He was contracted to Shell, BP, Lasmo, Phillips and Total in both the UK and Norwegian sectors.

Stuart has always been interested in the outdoor adventure world and as a result in 1995 led the first British ascent of the North Face of Kussum Kanguru (6367m) in the Khumbu region of Nepal. He and the team reached the summit in five days after completing a new route on the face. He returned to the Himalayas in 1996, 1998 and 2001 leading further treks, expeditions and community projects. He is also a qualified summer and winter mountain leader, rock climber and raft guide. Whilst on his many expeditions, Stuart realised the connection between the physical hardship of expeditioning, leadership and teamwork. It was from this that More Adventures, Stuart’s first business as a sole trader was born. Since going limited with Fire Events in 2002, the company has gone from strength to strength.
