She has heaps of experience from running her own web sales based business for 9 years, which naturally comes with a strong knowledge of IT as well as that keen eye for detail.

Sam White
Researcher
You can’t get Sam out of good restaurants, or a kitchen; she just loves fine dining. We think it comes from working too long for the likes of Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Coworth Park – not that we’re complaining, because what Sam doesn’t know about fine dining, it’s not worth knowing!
