Business Manager
With responsibility for the smooth day to day running of the office, negotiating contracts, overseeing everything from printing to national exhibitions, and with a challenge around every corner, Nicky has an uncanny ability to listen to five conversations at once, while also taking notes and checking spreadsheets. Since joining Guides for Brides in 2005, Nicky hasn't looked back ... or up!

Operations Manager
"I'll try" is her catch phrase, and she always succeeds, whether it is speaking to 20 clients in an hour, or finding a near-impossible solution to a database issue. Having made the mistake of demonstrating her aptitude on a computer, in addition to her full time sales role, Grace is the one who ensures that our huge database of businesses is kept up to date and working smoothly.

Internet Sales Consultant
A whirlwind of activity, Neil is passionate about getting the very best from the web site for his clients, and won't take no for an answer when he sees a wedding company is missing out on business. Constantly checking page positions, ranking and statistics he keeps us ahead of our competitors so that sales calls can be made with true conviction. A regular on our exhibition stand at the National Wedding Shows - despite our threats to make him wear a bridal gown!

Internet & Guide Sales Consultant
Everyone needs an Office Mum, we don't know what we'd do without Gill! She is the one who sends us home when we are sick and makes sure the director remembers to stop for lunch. With a never ending supply of paracetemol, warm cardigans, tissues and diet coke she can instantly solve almost every crisis. She is also the Web Advert Queen, and is inevitably the one to help you out with uploading your pictures, resetting passwords and trying to retrieve details of inadvertantly expired adverts.

Wedding Fair Co-ordinator
John gained first hand experience in the wedding business by marrying his sweetheart Helen after his first year at Guides for Brides - that is dedication to the job for you. Apparently working on more Sundays than most Vicars, John can be found at wedding fairs throughout the home counties rearranging tables, finding table cloths, extension leads and drawing pins, and making sure every exibitor at the Guides for Brides fairs have all their various whims catered for.

His direct line is 01235 773462

Graphic Designer
With one of the most responsible roles in the Guide production process, and boasting more years of life experience than most in the office, Pam takes pride in being the most immature member of the team, throwing herself into Red Nose Day, dress down day and silly hairstyle day, while munching her way through sweets hidden in her not-so-secret drawer.

Accounts
Truly versatile, or just prepared to try anything, during her time at Guides for Brides Trudi's roles have included running the workplace nursery, junior administrator, wedding fair administrator, website administrator and model, and she is the only person to have had two leaving parties - yet still be here. Having tried every role except actually running the company Trudi has now found her niche in accounts, so if  you are ever sent an incorrect invoice - now you know who to shout at.

Website Administrator
Cramming a full time job into 3 days, Jackie's prowess at the keyboard  - she can spell AND can type with more than two fingers - has landed her with the task of adding pages and pages of articles to this website, as well as sourcing hundreds of thoroughly inappropriate images to illustrate the articles. Having come from the world of banking Jackie has been thrust headlong into a new language of HTML, hit rates, SEOs and data tags.
