She has a passion for buying local, and has organised tastings of English wine and spirits for the people of Kent and Sussex.  When Ed asked her to join the team for One Earth Show, it seemed the perfect fit, and she has relished the challenge of reducing her carbon footprint.

Nicola Stephenson

Event Executive

​

Although she is the baby of the team Nicola already has a few events under her belt. From beer festivals to a couple of weddings, she is just getting stuck in. Social posting, company research and client engagement are just a few areas that Nicola helps out on.

Nicky is a cooking fanatic, piano perfectionist and a craft project aficionado (often taking on projects too large for her own good) If she doesn’t have her hands on a piano it’s probably only because they are covered in PVA glue.

Harley

Chief Morale Officer

​

Though he hasn’t been with the team long he has already made a big impact. As well as his important morale role, he is also our chief greeter, so you’re guaranteed a warm welcome when you come to the office.
