DENI-DENI - Key Persons

Having started making luxury leather goods over thirty-five years ago Denise's knowledge in her craft is without question. Denise's role within the company has evolved significantly since she first set up on her own. With her two children Aden and Hannah now working alongside her, Denise concentrates her time on the more challenging projects while continuing to mentor her team and leading the company forward. " I'm a bit pernickety, which is perfect for our work, it means the bar is high. Tough for everyone who works for me, though… " Denise Pearson was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, and when she was little Denise and her parents, Pauline and Reg emigrated to New Zealand. After a while, they returned home to live next to her Grandma who had been a tailoress. Her Grandma taught Denise how to play cards, make cakes and be patient with her needlework.
