Say Hi To Ben
Ben is the Principal Sales Executive for Swag Pack, he cooks up ideas for various print, branding and Swag projects for clients and potential clients. What do you love about the team at Swag Pack? I love that everyone is on hand and happy to help out whenever needed, whether that be last minute packing jobs in the warehouse or just thinking of solutions on tricky projects. How would your team describe you in 3 words? Hopefully they’d describe me as ‘Happy to help!’ What is your superpower/secret talent? Not so much a talent.. but can solve a rubiks cube in under 5 minutes! The best piece of advice I’ve been given is…. That you make your own luck. When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up? Aside from the standard ‘Professional footballer’ answer, probably a Physiotherapist. Favourite podcast? I don’t really listen to podcasts! Best series to binge watch? I’d say Modern Family is one of my favourites to binge watch. What is on the top of your bucket list? Swimming with Manta Rays. Do you have a mantra or motto? Nope!
Naomi House And Jacksplace Gardening Day
On 27th October, five members of the SwagPack team visited and volunteered their time towards the garden duties at Naomi House & Jacksplace 🍃🍁 Geared up with gloves, rakes and wheelbarrows for a morning start (which soon then swept into the afternoon) the teams main tasks included leaf blowing and leaf sweeping/collecting around the hospices main outdoor areas and also their car parks, tidying up the autumnal leaves that had fallen from the surrounding trees. We were also taken on a very special tour of the hospices, seeing the many areas of the buildings where the specialist care is provided. Our thanks to Connor Phillips for organising this, it was so incredibly touching to see some of our ongoing fundraising for this incredible charity in action. For anyone who doesn’t know, Naomi House & Jacksplace provide individualised care and much needed respite and support for life limited and life threatened children, young adults and the whole family, on the good days, difficult days and last days. This care continues for as long as a family needs. We look forward to future activities, we will be glad to support in 2024.
Say Hi To Rosie
Rosie is our newest Client Services Executive, she works closely with the account managers and clients to get their projects created and delivered smoothly. What do you love about the team at Swag Pack? I love how welcoming and friendly everyone has been to me and others – the office has a really good supportive and reassuring atmosphere. I could never get bored with the chats we all have! How would your team describe you in 3 words? Organised, friendly and Smiley! What is your superpower/secret talent? I can recite the alphabet backwards. The best piece of advice I’ve been given is…. Measure twice, cut once! When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a children’s nurse up until I left college and covid hit, I had a complete change of heart into the business admin world as there are so many things you can do with it! Favourite podcast? I only listen to podcasts when going on a long walk as it is a good distraction, however I usually go for the diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett – it can be very interesting as it can be celebs all the way to scientists and doctors talking. Best series to binge watch? Grey’s Anatomy – as soon as I watched the first episode I was hooked and it is probably the only series I have stuck to, I love the rush and fast pace of the episodes. What is on the top of your bucket list? I do have 2 extremes, it’s hard to pick one – Go to the Maldives to completely relax and have a luxury experience. And to go to New York around Christmas time for sightseeing and shopping! Do you have a mantra or motto? Everything happens for a reason.

Say Hi To Ana
Ana is the organised one – she juggles multiple projects and enquiries, making sure we hit our deadlines, always with a smile. Find out more about Ana and her life at Swag Pack… What is your role? My role at Swag Pack is essentially project management but adding the customer service side to it! Once the artwork has been finalised with sales, it’s my job to make the Swag come to life! What is your favourite part of your job? The satisfaction of the Swag coming together, Swag is usually a pretty long process as it can take up to 4 weeks. Seeing the end product is great, especially when you see it on LinkedIn. What do you love about the team at Swag Pack? We all have different strengths and work really well together! When needed, we all pull together to get something out the door! How would your team describe you in 3 words? Driven, confident, reliable. When you were younger what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a language translator for the UN! But technology made the need for that a lot smaller… I then wanted to be a solicitor, I got my law degree but decided to move on from that profession, and here I am in print and merch, strange how life works! If you could tell your younger self something, what would it be? Don’t grow up so quick- bills are very much real. Favourite podcast? I don’t really listen to podcasts, I’m more of a reality tv girl.. What is on the top of your bucket list? The Maldives of course! Do you have a mantra or motto? Not really a mantra or motto, but everything happens for a reason! I always try to see the positive in situations.
Phyllis Tuckwell
A charity close to our hearts is Phyllis Tuckwell, Hospice Care! We spent a day helping the Phyllis Tuckwell online sales team list a range of generously donated items, for them to sell on eBay and Depop. Whilst their shops couldn’t open during covid, the PT team focused on increasing their online selling, and it has gone from strength to strength. We worked with Louise, Dee & Michele researching prices, writing descriptions, taking photos, and listing the items. A big thanks to Julia, Gary, Gordana, Tim, Joel, Sophie from the Clone team for getting involved, and helping Phyllis Tuckwell to raise the £25,000 they need a day to support their patients and families. If you would like to support this amazing charity and want to find some amazing items, check out Phyllis Tuckwell’s online shops. https://www.pth.org.uk/phyllis-tuckwell-shops/online-ebay/
