Our Team

PETA Team

Left to right: Tracy (Production), Jacqui (Accounts), Linsey (Business Manager), Lucy (Sales), Ian (since retired), Genny (MD), Simon (Director), Robert (Warehouse)

Genny

The MD

As the founder’s daughter, Genny grew up with Easi-Grip conversation at the dinner table and has been working for the company since 1991. Over the years she has made scissors, set up systems and attended International Trade Shows but nowadays her focus is on developing the business and supporting her fantastic team.

Simon

Director

Responsible for design updates and all matters technical Simon has been an invaluable member of the team since 2007. From mentoring a design student to resolving manufacturing issues, Simon’s role can be very varied!

Lucy

Sales

Since joining the team in 2004 Lucy has been recruiting and looking after our distributors and representing us at trade shows. She is passionate about making Easi-Grip® products universally available and gives exceptional customer support to ensure products are well represented.

Jacqui

Accounts

Queen of Spreadsheets “Our Jacqui” (she comes from Up North) has been with us since 2005 dealing with all aspects of accounts and financial planning. Jacqui also keeps the cash flowing which is no mean feat when it involves juggling three currencies!

Tracy

Production & Purchasing

Veteran employee Tracy has been with us since 1996 and proved herself to be a key member of the team. The best bit about Tracy making scissors (10,000 in 2018!) is that she has a keen eye for detail and ensures we maintain high quality of all our products.

Linsey

Business Manager

Linsey is a part qualified accountant who joined in 2019 to support Jacqui whilst remaining customer focused through sales order processing and resolving queries. Linsey's depth of understanding of the business has since developed her role into that of Business Manager.

Robert

Warehouse

Robert, joined in May 2021 when the previous Warehouse Manager retired. Having got to grips (sorry!) with the product range he turned his attention to improving warehouse efficiencies and increasing storage capacity to facilitate future growth of the business.

Paul & Sherrie

Assembly & Packing

As the business had grown, in 2021 we approached Essex Inclusive Employment Services who, using Access to Work support, placed Paul and Sherrie to help with assembly and packaging - now we'd be lost without them.

Vacancy - Part Time

Marketing & Communications

We are looking for someone who has experience of living or working with children / adults with disabilities and has good marketing communications skills to join our team. If this is of interest, please send CV to genny@peta-uk.com
