Aside from her family and very pampered dog, Sue’s two passions in life are HMA and music. When she has the chance to escape HMA, she plays principal flute in Aylesbury Symphony Orchestra, Abingdon Symphony Orchestra, Didcot Concert Orchestra and a few other groups. She has recently acquired her DipABRSM flute performance diploma and because she likes a challenge, is now embarking on the next level, LRSM. A keen runner – but lapsed – mainly because there just aren’t enough hours in the day!

Yvonne works mainly in the busy Production Department which means once your order is placed her role is to look after all aspects of it, from receiving and checking samples to arranging delivery to the end user.
