Mel Ebdon is the Administration and Facilities manager, looking after the smooth running of the office from Tuesday to Thursday.  She covers enquiries, calls and requests to support the other members of the team and the various groups that use the service. She is new to the DDCVS but knows the Derbyshire Dales area from many years of visiting while living in Nottingham (where she grew up) and Staffordshire (where she now lives).

Before working at DDCVS, Mel worked in higher education as a lecturer in English Literature for many years.  She is a keen amateur singer/songwriter/guitarist and enjoys meeting Bakewell’s many dogs.
