Meet Nicola Wheeler

Nicola met the Duchess in 1987 when they were both working in the alps together and have remained firm friends ever since. In 1994 they set up a garden furniture business together in the grounds of the castle and when the Duke and Duchess moved up to the castle in 2000, Nicola went with them to help on the visitor side of the attraction. 

Nicola left the castle to have time bringing up her family but returned in 2019 to help again and moved on to the project of the American Friends of Belvoir Castle in 2022.
