Dylan continues to be a Non-Executive Director the Royal Berkshire Shooting School.

“Having shot all my life, I could not believe how dramatic the improvement was in my shooting after the lessons I had with Dylan. Not only did my shooting improve but also my enjoyment of the sport. I heartily recommend having lessons, it will be time well spent! – Indeed, my partner Lena is now taking lessons with the Welsh wizard!!!” Robert Byng | Wrotham Park
“Dylan is a wonderful man to have a lesson with. So experienced, and yet so calm, friendly and encouraging. After a lesson with Dylan you always think you have found some proper pearls of wisdom to help with your shooting.” Paul White | Frogmore
“There are plenty of shooting coaches. Quite a number can teach you how to shoot clays, but there is a very small group who can teach you how to shoot game, and Dylan Williams can do both. His charming and cerebral style combined with an ability to see not just the outcome, but the required change to the process that can lead to an improved and sustainable outcome, is rare and has allowed him to help thousands of shots over many years, both beginners and experts alike.” Jeremy Young | London
Don’t just take word for it.

Within the shooting industry no other entity has helped raise over £30 million for charity, which was achieved since 1991 whilst Dylan was at the helm. It is a testament to the success of the events hosted that many enjoyed 15 to 20 years of consecutive success, including Great Ormond Street, Hospital, Peter Jones Foundation and The Willow Foundation.
Many years have been dedicated to ensuring the provision of the finest sport for discerning guests wishing to enjoy sport on prestigious estates and the experience Pressendye can bring to estates on marketing, promotion and provision of customer expectations, is much sought after throughout the UK and overseas.
Studies in Conservation and Ecology formalised and expanded Dylan’s passion for the countryside. Positions working for the Countryside Commission for Scotland, Surrey Wildlife Trust and Game Conservancy all built to provide Dylan with the ability to have an objective and practical view of Fieldsports, Conservation and Farming.
The desire to enter the commercial world of shooting led to Dylan establishing the Royal Berkshire Shooting School in 1991 which has become recognised as one of the worlds finest Shooting Grounds. In 2018 the School, its Sporting Agency and simulated Days businesses were acquired by James Purdey and Sons, the globally renowned London Gunmakers.
Dylan continues to be a Non-Executive Director of the Shooting School, and is now a consultant to James Purdey Gunmakers.
