| Joanne Copley-Dunn
|
Commercial Director
Direct Dial: +44 (0114) 252 1603
email: joanne@gbeye.com
Joanne (Taurus) is the Queen of UK Sales. She was there at the very beginning in 1986, helping to found the company. What Joanne doesn't know about posters and the poster industry, seriously isn't worth knowing. Joanne is the Commercial Director for GB, and has worked in every area of GB through the years. She is hands-on with Woolworths and Asda - and gets involved with all areas of the UK account management. As a director she is constantly strategising - and even keeps a notepad next to her bed, when inspiration wakes her in the night. In her time, Joanne has pursued hockey, water skiing and even guitar playing. Now her two young sons keep her on her toes!

| Sorrel Dryden
|
Key Accounts & Marketing Manager
Direct Dial: +44 (0)114 252 1623
email: sorrel@gbeye.com
Sorrel (Leo)is a bit of a posh pony girl. Sorrel likes jodhpurs and riding boots (but only on a weekend). Sorrel has been with GB since 1993, originally as a Sales Agent, then came in from the cold in 1998 to set up our marketing department. She has since become our warm and friendly Key Accounts Manager. At one time she was looking after all our major accounts; she now focuses her attentions on HMV, Borders Books, Tesco, and Clinton Cards - as well as trying to bring any other big players on board. When she's got a spare moment Sorrel also handles the marketing for the company - orchestrating our trade press entries, and overseeing trade fair organisation. Originally a Duran Duranie, Sorrel became a dance-kid, and could regularly be seen on podiums in the capital. Sorrel loves Japanese food and drinking tea. |

| Nicola Hallam

New Product Development Manager
email: nicola@gbeye.com
Direct Dial: +44 (0)114 292 0095
Nicola (Sagittarius) started at GB as our fabulous UK Sales Office manager in 2004.
Showing how talented she was at controlling and steering the tight ship that is UK Sales, she has since moved across to new product development, devoting all her time to this.
There are still never quite enough hours in the day for Nic, as she organises any new product from development to the moment it goes out to stores, including value canvas, badges and badge packs, frames, canvas and prints.
Nicola is a child of the eighties, and likes nothing more than dancing round her living room to "Like a Virgin". She loves a good curry & a pint on a Friday night. |

UK Sales Co-ordinator

Dan likes to think he is a legend. In his own words "loved by women and adored by men. He wakes up every morning and p*sses excellence" (as you can tell, Dan is slightly deluded.)
Dan Perry started at GB in June 2003 - in that time he has seen a personal development that has accelerated at a rate of knots. Beginning in basic admin he is now administrative handler for HMV and hmv.com, Borders Books, Play.com and Amazon. An Aries, Dan loves and would seriously love a date with Megan Fox the "bird from Transformers". He likes 4 members of Girls Aloud... He also "heart's" Sheffield United. His favourite food is pizza (especially a Meat Feast) and he makes a mean omelette. His favourite cold frothy beverage is Tiger beer. He is a tea obsessive.
Dan is planning to save lots of money and get on the property ladder within the next year or so, so if anyone wants a battered Clio, calls to Dan, please! |

| Joanne Koc
|
UK Sales Team Leader
Direct Dial: +44 (0)114 252 1604
email: joannek@gbeye.com
Joanne is currently on maternity leave, enjoying the company of her new daughter, Maddison. She will return in November 2008.
Jo is a Leo and has been with us since 2003. She started as our receptionist - but her talent was soon spotted and UK Sales stole her "upstairs". A lively, bubbly personality saw Jo first become the new business development member of our team - following all new leads and building business with them, and then in 2007 becoming the UK Sales Team Leader.
Running the office in Steve's absence, co-ordinating the external field sales agents, liaising with the distribution centre and despatch team, as well as the couriers, are just some of the roles covered by Jo.
Jo is also our first contact for TV and film production teams looking for set dressing, as well as taking care of any charity requests. She loves Italian food, boogieing on the dance floor, Jamiroquai and has a tortoise called Trevor. |

| Paul Grundy
|
Key Accounts Executive
Direct Dial: +44 (0)114 292 0098
email: paulg@gbeye.com
Paul Grundy is the newest member to the UK Sales team, and has joined as our Key Accounts Executive. He has been brought in to develop our new chain business prospecting for new accounts and has already started with great aplomb. He's taking care - as account manager - of Merlin Entertainment Group, Forbidden Planet, Toys R Us and Waterstones. He shares his birthday with Jo K - so is another Leo in our fiery sales team (by zodiac sign, not temperaments!).
Paul used to be a bit of a party boy, but reaching the ripe old age of 26 he's happy to take things a bit easier these days with his XBox360, and a cold tinny in his hand.

| Emily Fawcett
|
Direct Dial: +44 (0114) 252 0086
email: emily@gbeye.com
Emily joined us in the autumn of 2007. Coming from a film and TV background (runner & 3rd assistant director on Emmerdale, no less!) Emily came to us as a temp in our export department, during 'quiet time' on the production front, and she fit in so well with the GB ethic (a little bit lunatic, a little hard working) that we asked her to join the UK team. She plays trumpet in the Frumptarn Guggen Band which plays European Festival Music (she also plays trombone & saxophone).
Emily likes to talk in a West country accent sometimes, and the rest of the time is Account Handler for Asda, Tesco, Toys R Us, Forbidden Planet and Center Parcs, as well as being handler for our merchandiser services, and looking after the sales figures. |

| Victoria Wood
|
Independent Sales Co-ordinator
Direct Dial: +44 (0114) 252 1622
email: victoriawood@gbeye.com
Victoria Wood – oh the fun we’ve had with the Northern comedienne – yes, she’s retired from Acorn Antiques and now works in UK Sales! No, seriously, our Victoria is the latest addition to the team.
She’s a Sheffield lass, who was travelling in Hong Kong at the tender age of 18 (best time of her life to date – well, until she joined GB), and she is an enthusiast of the exclamation mark!!! A Sheffield Wednesday fan, from a mixed political family “My mum's red and dad's blue, so at the last General Election - my mum said "oh let's not bother, we'll only cancel each other out..." then sneaked off to the polling station after tea!” She’s been brought in to look after and grow our Independent customer base, as well as write a newsletter or two.
She’s fond of the pub, and was “this close” at the recent Girls Aloud concert in Sheffield to “the Tweedy”. Victoria has slotted in very well to the UK team already, and is quite popular with some of our warehouse boys too.
Victoria has personalised 'OWL' plates on her automobile, and is a Facebook addict (in her spare time.)
