Meet our StaffThis is Heather, sitting at a computer as usual! Heather was the initial founder of Peakirk Books in 1997. Having worked previously as a primary teacher, and later in an academic library, Heather
wanted to develop her love of books into a business, resulting in the birth of Peakirk Books.Heather is responsible for most of the book buying, which is why we
specialise in Children's Books. She is, when not out buying or cataloguing in the office, usually found in front of the shop computer processing orders or serving in the shop.Meet Jeff, Heather's husband and now Business Partner. Jeff worked
unoffically for Peakirk Books by keeping Heather's accounts in the early days, but in 2000 , when the work at Peakirk books became too much for one person, Jeff left his 'sensible' managerial post in the non book world, and joined Peakirk books as a full time member of staff. Jeff takes responsibility for all the accounts and adminstration, as well as often being on 'telephone duty'. If you telephone us at all (01733-253182), it may well be Jeff who takes your call.Here is Debi. Debi is Heather & Jeff's friend & neighbour as well as being a member of staff. Debi spends most of her time in the shop, meeting customers and dealing with telephone enquiries. She is also the most computer literate of us all. However she also does some cataloguing, both at work and from home. She is very versatile, and fills in wherever needed. If you telephone us and a female answers, it will probably be Debi.Hello - I'm Golly. I take my role as security officer for Peakirk books extremely seriously, but am always open to bribes of bones & dog chews! Wherever Heather & Jeff are, I'm not far away.Hello - I'm the new recruit as assistant security officer and my name is Poppy. Golly is teaching me all he knows, but I am so excited about it all, I tend to forget my new responsibilities quite quickly! |
