Introducing Sean Fletcher: The Newest North Ridge Ambassador

Ethan Ball2 min read

Sean Fletcher is a broadcaster and mental health campaigner whose career has seen him appear on shows such as Good Morning Britain and Sunday Morning Live. With a career and upbringing orientated around the outdoors, Sean makes the perfect ambassador for North Ridge. He first developed a love of being outdoors at the age of 13 when he and his parents moved from the hustle and bustle of town life to a small holding farm in the Essex countryside. His mum began breeding pigs during this time, which gave him a lasting feeling of connection, not just to the countryside, but also to all the people who live and work in it. Now a parent himself, Sean sees time together outdoors as crucial to his own family, it’s not always easy to get the children outside when it’s cold and wet, but without fail they always return home feeling better, physically and mentally, he states.

“When I was asked to be a North Ridge ambassador it just felt like a no-brainer really. We have so many shared values, one of them is the great outdoors and the benefits it has on our mental well-being”

Along with his strong ties to the outdoors, Sean is also an advocate of the positive impact that getting out into nature can have on a person’s well-being, both physically and mentally. He has been a campaigner for several years and in that time has become an ambassador for Young Minds, the UK’s leading mental health charity for children and young people. This has given him the opportunity to speak publicly about the importance of ensuring every child and young person gets access to whatever help they might need when it comes to their mental health.

“Being an ambassador for young minds is a really important thing for me because when my son was ill with OCD Young Minds was particularly helpful for me, my son and my family”

Sean’s partnership with North Ridge really is a match made in heaven, with a range that transcends both the fast-paced metropolitan lifestyle and the stylish outdoor adventurer. Being both a father and broadcaster Sean knows how busy life can get. But he is also a great believer in the healing power of getting into the beauty of the outdoors, slowing down and taking stock. and as Sean says the best part is it’s free!

“What’s my favourite piece from the North Ridge collection? Undoubtedly the parka. While filming is fun it’s often very cold. The North Ridge parka has been a game changer.”
