I opened the store nine Years ago after twenty years of retail experience! I have worked for some fabulous niche brands i.e. Christian Lacroix, Opening store manager in Spain for Ann Summers and working for Laura Ashley in Bath. It was, however, a baptism of fire opening the Bristol store and working with the whirling dervish ladies of Stratford (alias Beth and Debs), which I loved! 

I have a passion for design and appreciate the detail in all things. I love my garden and am proud to say I have even won awards for my Zen space! You will often find me among the roses on a Sunday, in a village pub for lunch with my husband Tim, and then a large glass of red in the evening, nice & cosy in front of a period drama ready for VH on Monday.

The store opened nine years ago, October 2009, in a large Georgian building in the heart of Clifton. What was once a Post Office and convenience store became a Vinegar Hill lifestyle emporium while the other half became a Paper Chase store!

Space! We are the second largest store in the company with super high ceilings which makes the store feel very open and welcoming.As a team, we are a really warm and friendly bunch of people that care very much about Vinegar Hill and our customers. 

We work like a small family with lots of banter and laughs through out the day! This creates a light atmosphere. Even when the pressure is on, we lean on each other to keep everything moving and changing smoothly!
