Meet Our (secretly the favourite) Team
Winnie
CCO- Chief Cuddle Officer

I love being in the office and all the attention I get. I start whining about 3 minutes away because I get so excited to see all my friends. I mainly spend my day going around and standing on my back legs so I can have proper cuddles with everyone, sometimes I get treats that people bring me in especially. My best friend is Teddy as he sits near me but we have a bit of a love/ hate relationship when it comes to food as we don’t like to share. I also love fancy dress.

Ozzie
The real boss

Although I am the boss’s dog I am the real boss and I can get him to do whatever I want. I am an excellent guard dog and sneeze hard at any potential threats. I love long walks along the shore path near Swanwick or in the hills around Winchester. My favourite thing to do is to chase a ball and roll in the sand… I have unlimited energy, although I do like a cuddle with my blanket in the evening.

Meet Our Behind The Scenes
Operations Team
Macy Simmons
Business Administrator

You’ll usually find me with my besties, either curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea or out on the town with a glass of wine in hand (Rosé Blush, of course!).

I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan and could talk about her all day long. I was lucky enough to see her perform live in Tampa, Florida, in April 2023, and it was INCREDIBLE.

I never go anywhere without my sunnies (rain or shine!) and firmly believe cowboy boots are always appropriate — and always iconic.

I live for holidays, whether that’s skiing down the slopes of France, dancing on a beach in Croatia, or exploring a new city. I love it all!!!

Elle Jones
Talent Acquisition Lead

I am an extremely open minded person that would choose family over anything!! I have to always have a holiday planned otherwise I get really down in the dumps – City breaks are the one!

If I had a choice to go out to the pub or go to Next and buy some fresh PJ’s with a root around Homesense, I would choose Next & Homesense every time – call me sad, but I’m such a home bird!

Down fall? I’m a beige food eater. I am that person that will ask for their mayo chicken plain, and adult nuggets, chips and beans.

Country music is my whole personality.

I went on my dream holiday in May 2023 to Memphis and Nashville and it was the best thing I have ever done.

30th birthday pending in Nashville!

Laura Fewell
Content Marketing Executive

In my spare time I love tackling DIY projects around the house – I’ll give pretty much anything a go! I also enjoy weight training, watching F1 (I’m doing terribly in my fantasy league…), cooking, and spending time with my friends and family (preferably in the sun). I’m a BIG country music fan – this year I’m trying to go to as many country music concerts and festivals as possible!

James Collinson
Management Accountant

Working out the ropes as a new dad while juggling my many interests. I play snooker and pool for a team on a weekly basis and love competing at a decent level. I tend to be very competitive and love trying new things (all the while introverted). Will always try to go to one new place in world a year. I’m Interested in many sports but mostly American football and support the Miami Dolphins 🐬.

Jana McDonald
AI and Marketing Manager
I’m half German, half American, and grew up in sunny Spain. These days, you’ll find me up north, making the most of the great outdoors, usually hiking in the Lake District (with a well-deserved pub stop at the end, of course). I love travelling to warmer places whenever I can, or winding down at home with a good book and my two cats, Maple and Chai.
I’m passionate about learning and recently completed a Mini MBA in Marketing. I’m also known to binge-watch real estate shows (yes, Location, Location, Location is a guilty pleasure), and I’ll proudly defend pineapple on pizza!
Michelle Green
Payroll Administrator

My three children are my world, I absolutely love being their mummy! I enjoy cooking and that always involves a glass of wine and good friends. I think I’d say my favorite place to be is outside – horse riding, paddleboarding and long forest walks – we also have two gorgeous black labradors. Having said that, there’s also nothing better than sitting in front of the open fire on a wet and windy day!

Emily Amos
Learning and Development Manager

I am not one for hobbies however I do have a few loves which consist of wine, travel, food, family, and my daughter Ava who is the cutest girly in the world. I love attending music events and can generally be found in the sun, sunnies on, with a drink in my hand.

Lucy Nicholas
Payroll Supervisor

Outside of work I love spending time with family and friends and that’ll almost certainly involve good food and wine! Myself and my partner love travelling, whether that be sunny sailing holidays in Greece or a city break to Mallorca.. although that is put on hold at the moment due to our house renovation which is keeping us plenty busy!

Meet Our Leadership Team
Josie Hughes
Director of Marketing, Strategy and Culture

Things I love:

My son Finley, Skiing (Finn is already much better at this than I am !), fancy dress, cooking (actually food in general, we talk about it a lot at work!), holidays, spending time with friends and family and of course my dog Winnie- she has her own profile on here.

Kieran
Director

I am a family man, married, with two young sons who I love spending time with more than anything. Outside of playing Dad and Husband, I enjoy the outdoors and you’ll either catch me playing golf, or when feeling more adventurous, hiking various spots across the UK and Europe, such as the Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, Scottish Highlands and the Norwegian Fjords.

Liam Thomas
Co-Founder

I am a Dad to 2 great kids, Summer & Jude and a Labradoodle called Ozzie. Our health is our greatest asset so I’m passionate about self-care, both physically and mentally. I love travel and experiences with friends and family. I’m also passionate about creating opportunities for our young people and work with several schools on their careers and route to work provision.

I’m very competitive and love any kind of sport or challenge from climbing mountains to trying (and failing) to beat the kids at board games. When I’m not at the gym, kickboxing or walking Ozzie, you’ll find me cooking with a glass of wine. I was once invited to be on MasterChef but sadly had to turn it down due to work commitments. One for the future…..

Chris Hayes
Finance Director

I’m someone who tries to keep life simple.  Family, a sense of achievement, music, a game of pool with mates, a few beers.. just being happy!  I’m a Saints fan through thick and thin, a bit obsessed with cars, and still partial to hitting the decks for a late-night trance mix from the late 90’s and early 20’s (vinyl, obviously). I love animals, especially my cats, and as much as I enjoy being social, I also really value my own space — time to think, unwind, and just be.
