Naomi Cunnington Designer
Naomi joined the team in November 2016 as a graphic designer. Anything you need looking wonderful in terms of design, Naomi is your lady! Outside of work Naomi is a huge lover of going to the beach, or cruising down the river; anything that involves the water or the heat, Naomi is the first one to attend! She is a keen fan of eating tasty foods, with cheesecake and lasagne being at the top of her list, (not together though…we hope)!! She enjoys driving around in her swanky mini, almost as much as she loves her cat called Minnie! She enjoys spending time with her family, and cooking; even though she claims she’s no MasterChef professional!

Johanna has been with us for 8 years. She loves a challenge and managing us on a daily basis gives her just that! From all our events management to relocating our head office, Johanna is always on hand to organise and list write when it is needed... When not at work she loves spending time with her son, cruising around in her BMW, travelling and experimenting with a cocktail or three!
