How long have you been with
Racoon?
Since 22nd May 2013.
What did you do pre-Racoon?
20 years of my working life
was spent at Thwaites Limited,
a leading UK dumper truck
manufacturer – a far cry from hair
extensions! But the skills I learnt
there have stood me in good stead
for every aspect of business. I
worked across various roles from
accounts to stock control, costing
departments to product support,
literature design to corporate
merchandise procurement. I loved
my time at Thwaites, an honourable
company that really looked after
its staff, family owned and with
great values. It taught me to have
respect for others, be methodical,
thorough, confidential and to use
decent, ethical working practices.
I’m still in touch with many of the
people there; they were a big part
of my life.

A typical working day sees
me...
Every day is full-on and different but
a typical day sees me designing
and creating new company
literature,
adverts
for
trade
magazines, overseeing my team,
attending meetings and sorting
out my emails in between! Luckily
my partner in crime is Hayley, our
graphic designer, who manages to
put up with my need for perfection!
We work very well together to
create something we’re all totally
proud of. We’re really excited that
our next big project is re-vamping
the website, can’t wait!
What I love about my job is...
Everything! Being creative and
designing new material is really
exciting, you get such pleasure in
seeing what you’ve created being
published in print or on the web.
The most challenging part of
my job is...
Getting everything done! There’s
such a lot I want to do and have
planned in for the future. As a
team, we’ve accomplished a lot
but we want to continue to grow
and expand so the list is endless.
What I see from my office
window...
I’m far too busy to be looking out
of the window! Seriously though,
Racoon’s offices are in an idyllic
rural location so I see beautiful
fields and views of the countryside.
Every morning on the drive to
work I’ll see pheasants, squirrels
– even the odd donkey! It’s great,
puts a smile on your face before
you’ve even walked in the door.
My most memorable
experience at work was...
Being part of our latest photo
shoot, White Noise was fantastic,
as are the results of the shoot, just
beautiful. Being involved from start
to finish and seeing the RAT Pack
in action was inspiring. Then the
fun bit, choosing all of the images
for our marketing needs, that’s a
real thrill, it gives you a great buzz.
Your favourite hair
extensions?
A very natural long look with some
volume. My hair is so thin and grows
so slowly, to gain a bit of thickness
and have instant length is amazing.
For lunch I usually eat...
Mmm, at the time of writing I’m
about to head off to Barbados
so it’s been salads for the last two
weeks as I need to fit into my bikini!
The guilty snack in my desk
drawers is...
Oops! More than one at this
precise moment: a popping candy
chocolate orange, a Cadbury’s
caramel bar, a lolly pop, a tube
of jelly tots and a Wispa in the
fridge! What was I saying about
that bikini..?
