Meet the People Behind the Magic
At Heart of Cheddar, our team isn’t just helpful, they’re heroic. Each person brings their own sparkle, skill, and spirit to the shop, turning everyday tasks into moments of joy. Here’s who’s making the magic happen:
Lynn – Our behind the scenes book whisperer and silent superstar. She scans with ninja like precision, prepping each title for its next great adventure. Lynn’s calm focus and gentle touch bring order to the chaos, making sure every book is logged, loved, and ready to fly. She doesn’t seek the spotlight, but the shop wouldn’t run half as smoothly without her steady brilliance.
Rachel – The bric-a-brac maestro and shelf stylist extraordinaire. She doesn’t just arrange objects, she curates miniature worlds. With a twinkle in her eye and a knack for storytelling, Rachel turns donated oddments into charming displays that make people stop, smile, and say, “Ooh, look at this!” Her creativity brings warmth to every corner, and her shelves are a masterclass in joyful clutter with purpose.
Kait – Queen of the back room and master of the mystery bag. She greets every donation with a warm smile and dives into the unknown with fearless flair. Whether it’s a jumble of clothes, a box of books, or a surprise collection of ceramic cats, Kait sorts it all with grace, grit, and a touch of magic. Her laugh echoes through the sorting space, and her knack for turning chaos into treasure keeps the shop floor stocked, sparkling, and full of delight.
Beth – The shop’s steady rhythm. She tags clothes with care, tidies rails with quiet focus, and lends a hand wherever she’s needed. Beth brings a thoughtful presence to the team, keeping things in order and helping the day run smoothly. Her calm reliability and quiet cheer make her a grounding force on even the busiest shifts.
Anne – Gentle, focused, and quietly brilliant. She brings a sense of calm to the clothing rails, tidying with care and tagging each item so it’s ready to shine. Anne’s work is precise and thoughtful, and her presence has a grounding effect on the whole team. She doesn’t make a fuss but her quiet consistency keeps the shop looking its best, day in and day out. She’s the kind of person who makes everything feel just a little more peaceful.
Lauren – Till wizard, tech genius, and radiant beam of sunshine. She greets every customer with a kind smile and a happy face that instantly puts people at ease. Whether she’s solving a tech hiccup or chatting with regulars, Lauren brings calm confidence and genuine joy to the shop floor. Her warmth is contagious, and her knack for making everyone feel welcome is pure Heart of Cheddar magic.
Victoria – Keeper of the shelves and curator of calm. She tends the book section with care and precision, rotating titles like a seasoned librarian and alphabetising with a quiet joy that makes every shelf sing. Victoria doesn’t just organise books, she creates little havens of literary promise, where browsers linger and stories beckon. Her thoughtful touch keeps the space looking tip-top, and her love of order brings a gentle rhythm to the shop that’s both soothing and inspiring.
Allison – Our sparkle specialist and style guru. She brings elegance to the jewellery displays with a curator’s eye and a dash of dazzle. Whether she’s arranging gems or humming along to her favourite tunes, she adds flair, rhythm, and a whole lot of heart to the shop floor.
Rache – The oracle of answers. She’s the go-to for questions, reassurance, and warm welcomes, making everyone feel right at home.
Together, they’re not just a team, they’re a joyful ensemble of everyday legends, making Heart of Cheddar a place where community shines and kindness sparkles.
