William Phillips received the 2024 Young Gamekeeper (Junior) of the Year Award and, at six, was the youngest winner. William is involved in all aspects of his family’s shoot and takes part in dogging-in, beating and picking-up. He is no stranger to pulling his dad, Tom, to one side to give him a run down of how a drive has gone. Mum Sarah says “there’s no guilt in asking William to come and help as half the time he is already waiting at the door”.
