Managing Director, in charge of all things quite important. Founder of Foldabox (luxury retail packaging specialists) with 30 years experience in sales, product development and marketing. The creative ideas person of the team. Turned her childhood expertise of making peg dolls and butterflies from loo roll inners and doilies to create hand crafted boxes for friends, family and charity. Loves bulldogs, crime dramas, Jellytots and Mark the IT guru.
Our American IT guru. In charge of anything technical that breaks or stops working. A vast and varied list of past experience, most of which we are unable to print for legal reasons and fear of corrupting the innocent, vulnerable or easily mislead. Currently working on his PhD, so allegedly the smartest one in the team (update... now has his PhD, so is officially the smartest member of the team!) Renowned for his afternoon naps aka, ‘I’m going to read’. Loves Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Son House, Bourbon and Nicole the MD.
Our USA Customer Liaison Manager. In charge of all things our American customers might ask or need help with. An expert in USA to UK translation and a vast experience in Customer Service with the perfect disposition; warm, kind, helpful and always cheerful. Also a qualified massage therapist who runs her own business, The Lavender Room. Loves her two Daughters Anna and Emily, Nigel our Branding Director, all things cute and fluffy, cooking and world cuisine.
UK Stock Sales Manager, Office Manager, UK Customer Services Manager and anything else that needs managing, or that the rest of us don’t do. In charge of all things extremely important. Completely unflappable and calm even under pressure. The most helpful member of the team, nothing is ever too much trouble. Renowned for being funny without even trying. Loves her two cats, her Daughter Ciara, Kenny Rogers and all the team at our warehouse, (we had to say that in case anyone actually reads these Bio’s and we need the favour of a dispatch past the official cut-off time).
Our UK Bespoke Packaging Sales Manager. In charge of everything you can’t buy from our stock range. A consummate professional with a vast experience in sales and account management. She has unwavering patience and determination to get things done to customer satisfaction. Renowned for her ability to run… a very, very long way and usually before the rest of us are even out of bed. Definitely the healthiest and most energetic member of the team. Loves her two boys Simon and Michael and the odd glass (or two) of white wine, so long as it isn’t Chardonnay.
Branding Director extraordinaire. In charge of handling any stock boxes that need custom printing and USA bespoke sales enquiries. 30 years experience in sales, business development and worldwide sourcing. An incredibly hard worker with unwavering dedication, loyalty and perseverance. Renowned for his daily allegorical references, ability to eat even the chocolate we think we’ve hidden and his concept of 10 minutes, which is usually at least an hour. Loves his four children, Alison our USA Customer Service Manager, chocolate, more chocolate and skyscrapers.
Our Production Manager extraordinaire and newest member of the FAB family. Without any prior experience it was a baptism of fire but she took to the role like a duck to water. Her razor sharp attention to detail keeps us all in check. When not engrossed with purchase orders and production schedules can be found 'upcycling' and creating ‘must have’ furniture. Enjoys a Bacardi & Coke (or two) and with best friend Janice, they make a formidable and often memorable party duo! Loves her dog Finn and children Alex and Georgia.
Our fantastic Print Management Executive, also responsible for handling custom print onto stock gift boxes. The youngest and by far the grooviest member of the team! Blaire first came to us for work experience 9 years ago, which evidently and thankfully didn’t put her off! Passionate about establishing her own on-line flower girl dress business. When not working flat out for Foldabox and designing fab dresses, can be found binge watching Netflix crime dramas or conspiracy theories. Loves her two Chihuahuas Fox and Pepper, boyfriend Dean and her Dad… who is Nigel our Branding Director!
We’re delighted to welcome back our much-loved Production team member for a third time - fate truly stepped in and the stars aligned to make it happen. With extensive past experience in production, an impeccable eye for detail, and exceptional organizational skills, she has been greatly missed.
When not working part-time at Foldabox, you’ll find her in her home hair salon, expertly snipping and colouring. A big fan of trashy rom-coms (which her bestie Nicole often endures during weekend visits); enjoys a glass (or two) of red wine; loves her labradoodle Ketty; and is happily settling into her new home - despite counting the hours to the end of the building work and dust! A junkie for Curlywurlys and Sports Mix.
