Our Team

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!

When not working through the accounts in the office, Rachel enjoys running and also volunteers for her local Scout group that her two children attend, as part of their executive committee.  It’s incredibly rewarding witnessing the young people develop skills for life.

It’s all about managing the tricky characters! At work Jia deals with tricky Far East suppliers to keep her clients happy. At home Jia has a tricky but also the most adorable rescue dog called Manchez, who takes up most of her spare time.

Emma spends her day helping clients, from sourcing the products to quoting and processing the orders.  At the weekends, you will find her either browsing the shops spending money, which she shouldn’t, or being taken for a walk by her very energetic spaniel!

As Head of Creative, Fiona enjoys anything arty and loves to get stuck in to a new design project. Outside of work, and with a passion for dance, Fiona is involved in Amateur Dramatics and is often busy rehearsing for the next big show, keen as ever to take to the stage!

“Mmmm, biscuits!”

Claire enjoys working with her clients and loves the variety of orders she deals with which can be anything from a boys toy to something craft-y. Outside of HMA Claire really enjoys walking her Staffie in the exquisite countryside of Buckinghamshire. Claire loves to party with her husband and friends at the weekends and enjoys her fitness and spinning classes in the week.

“Let’s Av It”

Tara enjoys working closely with her helpful and friendly colleagues within the Production Team focussing mostly on Covermount and Partwork projects.  She enjoys the variety and challenges that present themselves each day and most of all loves playing with and testing the wonderful items we make!  Outside of the office Tara  is a very proud mummy to her beautiful little boy who she likes to spend as much time as possible with.  She also enjoys to keep fit and can often be found at the gym doing weight sessions or her favourite Body Pump classes!

“The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up and does not stop until you get into the office!”

Michelle is more than a front desk receptionist, smiling and answering the phone. She meets and greets all visitors on site and helps other departments in between. When 3 p.m comes Michelle enjoys spending time with her daughter and has just started going running to improve her fitness.

“Good Morning
HMA Creative. How can I help you?”

Yvonne has worked at HMA for 19  years in our busy warehouse. She is a very hands on Manager, making kits and orders up and whizzing around on the forklift taking in deliveries. Out of work Yvonne enjoys spending time with her 4 grandchildren and then going home for some quiet time where she enjoys reading on her kindle and having a glass of her favourite tipple of vodka and diet coke.

“Whose making the tea?”
