    Friendly faces

    We’re a lovely bunch here at Phineas, and we’re all a little (oddly) obsessed with this shoe hanger malarkey.
    With years in this industry, it’s safe to say we know our stuff. So if you have any questions, we’re here to help.

    Get in touch

    How to find us
    Will Carter
    Will Carter
    Financial controller

    Chartered accountant Will takes care of the finances here at Phineas. A wizard at graphs, charts and analyses, he transforms complex data into simple information, which is then used to make important business decisions. Will loves to challenge himself, and he doesn’t do things by halves. He’s ran no less than 7 marathons, competed in the 22-mile ‘Man versus Horse’ race, and perhaps his biggest achievement to date, he’s finished epic novel ‘Moby Dick’ – an over-whale-ming piece of literature that defeats many of its readers.

    Retail Consultant

    One of the longest serving members of the Phineas team, Retail Consultant Laurence provides a warm and knowledgeable welcome to all our new customers, and manages our European accounts. She also co-ordinates our marketing material and makes sure our website is looking spick and span! Laurence came to England from France in 1991 to improve her English and can now say ‘Worcestershire sauce’ almost perfectly. Despite our best efforts, Laurence is yet to be enticed by the delights of a nice, hot cup of English Breakfast tea…but she’ll never say ‘non’ to a glass of red wine!
