Robert
It was clear that Robert was destined to be a shop owner. When this rambunctious fellow was ten-years old and should have been playing with cars, he was writing his first business plans and reading balance sheets instead. His first job was in the curtain making industry some 25 years ago. He learned the tools of his trade in his own Interior Design firm in Johannesburg but decided to fry bigger fish in London and so relocated in 1999. Robert is inspired by David Hicks, Bernie de Le Cuona and Jonathan Adler for their design genius and by Nelson Mandela who has taught us all true dignity. Robert is proud that his personality is reflected in his company’s product range, brand, and outstanding customer service. Robert lives in South West London with his partner Wayne and three attention seeking fur babies, Doris, Dora and Jack.
Majella
The exotic Mama of two also mothers the whole team while holding huge responsibility in the company. This production coordinator is unfazed by our daily challenges and obstacles, carrying them out with composure, a smile and a little giggle. In her spare time she loves the Zumba moves thus bringing energy and rhythm into the warehouse. Majella is warm and approachable, which is why our clients and staff will go to her for assisting their needs.
Ray
This Irish Gentleman is the connoisseur of the Kings road, having worked with bespoke furniture makers for a number of years. Ray is often an Interior Designer’s right-hand man, often being asked to gauge a client’s preferences in terms of design and comfort. Although our excitable character has long-standing connections in the soft furnishing industry, he is quickly making new ones though working here. Mr Dapper has moved from Dublin and enjoys the operas of Verdi and wines of Italy, not necessarily in that order.
Christine
London born Christine is a creative soul. She brings much needed peace of mind to the company in terms of managing all things financial. We are all lucky to benefit from her deep understanding of the company and clients needs. Her passions include creative writing, painting and photography and her favourite shop on the Kings Road is “Lush”. She has three grown sons who are perfect gentlemen and she can often be found, camera in hand, on Trafalgar Square looking for that next great shot.
Esme
Esme arrived at Robert Langford in 2008 and is now our queen of sales. Individuality is her selling technique, forging long-standing relationships with the trade. Hair like fire, heart of gold, if this cool woman was a Robert Langford product she would be a “forge wheel”, thus being an integral cog in the Robert Langford machine. Esme is very much involved in the underground illustration scene and is fond of 50`s SI FI cartoons. She loves a naughty doodle, embellishing an innocent toy robot in ways you cant even imagine. This angle of creativity blends well with already colourful team.
Becky
Easy on the eye, this production manager and general power house ensures the Robert Langford products make it from sketch to destination. Our cool designs would not make it into our homes if it were not for Miss Markless. The team welcomes her calm yet kooky disposition to the warehouse. Creativity is in her blood, composing colourful and organic floral forms for wall covering and textiles through her talents in screen printing. She is currently working on expanding her collection, concentrating on the themes such as “imperfections and flaws”. Our delivery teams love this Festival fanatic, vintage vixen and professional sweetie.
Amelia
And Action... This all singing all dancing finance administrator packs a punch. From September 2010 Amelia has ensured that office life runs seamlessly and without effort.
Although her biggest turn-off is people who don’t listen, this little lady doesn’t need to shout to be heard. She is clear and controlled in her ethics, creating a positive work environment. She has interests in the dramatic arts which brings enthusiasm and diversity to the company. This funny girl has been a huge success with Robert Langford clients. A round of applause!
