18 Years Of Wildwoodz
Meet the husband and wife team that make Wildwoodz a reality!
Wildwoodz is owned and operated by Dave Elliott, paintball player of over 40 years experience at the highest levels of the game. Before creating Wildwoodz, Dave owned and ran Manchester’s largest paintball venue and worked at one of the worlds largest paintball companies, Planet Eclipse. As a professional player, Dave was part of the European Championship winning team “Banzai” and regularly wrote for Paintball Games International magazine. He has appeared on both Channel 4s Crossfire and Bravo TVs Mission Paintball.
You might speak to Dave when you ring Wildwoodz and you’ll see him down at the venue on occasion running events still but these days he’s more office based thinking up new and exciting stuff to keep the company moving forward and expanding.
The other person you’ll speak to on the phone is Charlotte Stewart, Dave’s wife. As well as bringing up their two kids and running a household, Charlie answers the telephone, processes bookings, does the invoicing and accounts and generally deals with all the grown up computer stuff that Dave doesn’t like to do because he pretends he’s frightened of technology.
By her photo, Charlie would like to have you think that she spends her leisure time training hard for events like Tough Mudder and the Beast Race, and we’re not going to say anything to make you believe otherwise. We wouldn’t dare. No. If you have a problem and no-one else can help, and if you can find her. You’d better speak to Charlie.

As you can see, Wildwoodz is an industry leader and our passion for the activities we provide means we stay at the top of our game. Because the staff play paintball to a high level, we understand the game better than other venues, leaving you safe to enjoy what we do!
So there we are, we started in 2005 as a small local paintball centre on the Black Isle and have become one of the Highland’s true treasures ably assisted by a crew of staff, our success wouldn’t have been possible without some great characters and personalities that bleed Wildwoodz blood.
Toby (on the right)
Toby’s one of those people that’s done pretty much every job there is to do. He’s an outdoor instructor with loads of experience from outdoor education all the way up to mountaineering. He’s also worked in the event management industry and so has been a perfect fit for Wildwoodz considering the variation of what we offer these days. If he looks tired it’s because he has a toddler at home that doesn’t seem to need sleep
Tindal (on the left)
Real name Steven but everyone knows him by his surname. Tindal is a gamer at heart and will be happy to debate the merits of Xbox over Playstation til the cows come home. He’s the most experienced paintball instructor we have and most of his duties revolve around running the Paintball and Lasertag sessions but he’s also a qualified Axe Throwing Instructor. He’s a natural paintball player and captains Wildwoodz team ‘Highland Heat’. Don’t challenge him – you’ll lose
Sophie
Sophie was the first bride ever to get married at Wildwoodz and was so passionate about the venue that she decided to stick around. When she’s not helping Charlie with the accounts or doing the odd shift working on our cabins she’ll be seen mixing cocktails behind the saloon bar and generally making sure that your wedding runs smoothly
