BIRCH PRINT - Key Persons
Andrea has been at Birch even longer than Nigel! She looks after our customers and seeks out new ones as well as work alongside Nigel to plan the business strategy.
Andrea loves fashion and some of her favourite projects involve the beautiful POS promotional material we produce for brands such as Eyespace's Aspinal of London and Sunday Somewhere. She vividly remembers picking and packing Zara signage the day before Christmas Eve to land in stores ahead of the Boxing Day sale!
Andrea's ideal day would be spent watching her two boys play football, followed by pottering in her garden and doing some Yoga.
Not many people know this but Andrea has a Grade 7 in piano and despite being scared of heights, she has recently taken flight on a Zip wire through the Welsh mountains.
Julie enjoys a good laugh and thinks we should live each day as if it was our last because we never know what's around the corner.
Becky handles enquiries and requests from various clients to ensure orders are delivered on time and to a high standard. Becky enjoys the creative side of her role, working with a wide range of artwork passing through production. Becky worked on the Clogau Jewellery store window vinyls and loved working with such beautiful artwork.
Becky is a stickler for good manners and has a cool, calm and collected approach to any challenges that come her way. She's a home bird and loves to spend time down in Essex with her family and friends. If she could only eat one thing for the rest of her days it would be Macaroni Cheese with a chocolate digestive probably chucked in for dessert!
Holly's main day to day involves managing and coordinating Birch's marketing activity; from creating content to coordinating digital marketing projects. Holly has an eclectic history, starting with her work in BBC television production, producing videos and digital project management.
You'll probably find Holly sat watching an absurdly unique documentary with a glass of red wine, cheese and crackers and her tabby cat, Darcy. In contrast she'll be working out. Holly loves to walk, jog, swim and in particular loves to practice Yoga, which helps her to manage the ups and downs of life!
Jenny processes numerous Birch customer account orders and ensures each order is booked into production and dispatched in good time. One of Jenny's favourite projects was the DPD chocolate brownie campaign. A huge amount of delicious brownies were delivered to numerous depots (and we got to eat the leftovers!) Jenny loves Thai food and will eat anything that's chocolate, she's not fussy.
Jenny adores being around her family and is always inspired by her husband and kids.
Becky admires people who start with nothing, work super hard and make a success of themselves.
Julie keeps hold of the purse strings and curbs Nigel's spending. She loves the fact that each day is different in her role and enjoys finding cost effective solutions for the business.
Julie enjoys holidays in Portugal and if she ever got the chance, she'd move there and start her own Bed and Breakfast. I'm not sure there'd be many cooked breakfast's left for the guests, since she admitted that her favourite meal was a classic English breakfast - so much variety on one plate! Variety is the spice of life for Julie.
Mark loves a good brew and biscuit after a hard day in the warehouse.
Mark spends his day in our Warehouse making sure our orders are picked, packed and shipped in good time. He's one of the longer standing members of the Birch team, having graced our warehouse floor for 17 years. The best part of his day is meeting deadlines and sitting down with a nice cuppa and custard cream.
In his earlier days, Mark was pleased to have achieved a silver medal in the National PKA Kickboxing competition but admits that he's definitely retired from that now, preferring to spend his free days walking miles along the coast lines.
Birch has great customers and team members which makes for a really enjoyable working environment.
Job Titles:
- Retired and His Son and Daughter ( Nigel and Andrea ) Took Hold of the Reins! the Simpsons Also Became the Longest - Running Prime Time Animated Series.
Melvin Birch retired and his son and daughter (Nigel and Andrea) took hold of the reins! The Simpsons also became the longest-running prime time animated series.
Nigel has been the MD of Birch for 31 years and in his own words 'he doesn't look old enough!'. In those 31 years, Nigel has worked on many campaigns but one in particular sticks in his memory. A customer came to us for a brand label but ended up having 2 million bottles of water after we knew we could source the water, print the label and arrange delivery to their network, whilst storing them all for their ongoing requirements.
Andrea loves working with our lovely customers and watching an idea evolve into printed reality.
Rich manages sales for some of our biggest customers and ensures each project is delivered successfully. His favourite project was for the DPD Group's CEO's 30th Anniversary. They wanted to hand out a staff pack that showcased their company values. It involved a bespoke premium tray with lid and slip case, gold pin badges, personalised certificates and the storage of all the goods for a monthly pick and pack.
Jenny enjoys working with the boss and wouldn't say no to a Ginger biscuit covered in dark chocolate.
