    		Mike Julien

    Managing Director     		After a career in accountancy which began with 6 years at Arthur Andersen Mike founded Wheesh in his daughter Mathilda's bedroom in April 2000.

    When not interfering with the smooth running of Wheesh Mike likes to take advantage of his New Forest surroundings to get in some scenic, if not fast, triathlon training.

     

    		Janet Prince

    Accounts Manager     		Janet joined Wheesh in March 2003 as Accounts Manager and is responsible for day-to-day book-keeping and other financial matters related to the company.

    Janet became a member of The Association of Accounting Technicians in 1987 and has worked as an auditor in accountancy practices before moving to company accounts.

    Janet enjoys cooking, playing bowls, walking and spending time with her family (especially her 3 grandchildren).

    Janet has chosen as her favourite products the luxury "jewellery boxes made by Hillwood because of their looks and superb finish".
    Alaric Campbell-Hill

    Operations Manager     		Alaric is in charge of looking after the press office and working in sales, particularly kitchen appliances and knives of which he has an in-depth knowledge.

    Alaric has worked as a stock-broker, a unit trust manager, a farmer and a restauranteur before joining Wheesh.

    In his spare time Alaric likes to cook and indulge in a bit of country sports such as fishing and shooting.

    After much deliberation, Alaric decided that his favourite Wheesh products are the watch winders because they are "unusual and beautifully presented with a superb finish".
    Kim Patton

    Customer Services Manager     		Kim joined Wheesh in April 2004 and is responsible for all matters dealing with customer satisfaction including queries, orders and making their shopping experience a happy one.

    Kim has been in customer service roles for most of her career and her last role was Customer Services Manager at Kodak.

    In her spare time Kim enjoys walking, cycling and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and she is about to learn a new skill – fly fishing!

    Her favourite products are the jewellery boxes, particularly when they are filled with beautiful jewellery, like the rainbow moonstone bracelet.
    Rod Newman

    Warehouse Manager     		Rod does a fantastic job of managing all warehouse activity including preparing orders for dispatch, dealing with stock deliveries and all outgoing post.

    Before joining Wheesh in 2005, Rod had worked for 30 years as a night-shift supervisor at a small family company called Kent Adams that was later taken over by Kodak.

    In his spare time Rod might be found on the airwaves practicing his hobby as a radio amateur. He also enjoys building and racing radio-controlled cars but most of all he enjoys takinig his customized Harley for a spin in the New Forest.

    His favourite Wheesh products are the Hillwood Range and the Breville Sandwich press.
    Jacks Howe

    PR and Marketing     		Jacks loves looking for new products for Wheesh, tinkering with the website and putting together the marketing campaign. A fully qualified LTA tennis coach and before moving to the New Forest in 2000 she was Practice Manager for an Orthopaedic Surgeon in London.  I am sure London misses her but Salisbury and Bournemouth have had more than their fair share!!

    "Since starting at Wheesh I have taken up triathlons and endurance running and loving every minute.  The New Forest is the ideal training ground." 

    Where does the name come from?

    We wanted a name which would convey speed as we sought to gain a position in the highly competitive gift market by offering prompt delivery. Wheesh is a little used word in the English language which we think encapsulates the speed at which we work. Ironically the inspiration for the word came from a slightly slower operator, it is the noise made by a certain Tank Engine letting off steam when he emerges from the engine shed as any 3 year old could tell you.
