Meet the Team

Mark Jackson – Founder & HDMG Director (2004-2013)

Amongst one of the most experienced Deer Managers in the UK, Mark's practical and managerial experience spanned over 30 years in the deer industry. In 2004 Mark brought a long term ambition to fruition by starting Hockham Deer Management Group. Mark developed HDMG for the next 9 years, building a team, laying strong foundations and making it into a successful and respected part of the greater deer management community.  Sadly Mark passed away in 2013 but he handed over the reins to Kerrie. With the outstanding support of the HDMG team, Kerrie has continued to build on Mark’s dream and by sticking to Mark’s ethos, HDMG continues to flourish today.

Kerrie Jackson – HDMG Director  

Starting at HDMG in 2005 Kerrie has seen the business develop first hand and benefitted greatly by learning from and supporting Mark as he developed and grew HDMG, whilst Mark benefitted from Kerrie’s administrative experience and her organisational skills ensuring that the HDMG office ran smoothly. Succeeding Mark in 2013 Kerrie was determined that she and the team would honour his legacy and continue with the professionalism and dedication that makes HDMG a top tier operation. Mark knew that attention to detail and unfailing customer care had to come as standard. The number of clients who continue to return year after year is testament to this philosophy and a source of great pride to Kerrie and the team. 





Martin Kitchen – Operations Manager

As one of the small group that Mark gathered around him before HDMG was conceived, “Kit” has been involved in all aspects of the group’s activities and growth right from the beginning up to the present day. He is an integral part of organising stalking parties, managing the shoots’ facilities, arranging HDMG corporate and marketing events, and everything in between, from building bridges to BBQ’s. 
Kit’s dedication and loyalty supported Mark throughout the years and now Kerrie is enjoying that same support as HDMG moves forward.
