Graham is the owner of Jellyfish Livewire. He has been in the print and marketing space for over 25 years. In 2008 he turned his focus to environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic cards used for Gift, loyalty, and membership programmes. Having become frustrated with the gift card and retail industry’s lack of innovation and environmental responsibility related to cards, Graham created the Green Gift Card brand in 2012, which has gone on to become synonymous with driving change in the reduction of plastic used in the industry. Author of several white papers about reducing the climate impact of plastic and, in particular, cards, and considered a leader in the fight for change, Graham brings his passion and enthusiasm to the Little Starts team.
As a dad to 5 and grandfather to 5, Graham knows all too well the importance of making memories with family members, so this, combined with his passion for reducing the impact of waste on the environment, led Graham to recognise the brand fit for Little Starts within the wider Jellyfish Livewire business.
Juliette has been in the gift card industry for almost 14 years, working at some of the UK's biggest retail brands, including Marks and Spencer's, Next and Boots. As a previous board member of the UK Gift Card and Voucher Association, she has excellent knowledge of both the consumer and B2B gift card markets.
Most recently, she was the Head of Card Programmes at intu Properties, managing their gift card and credit card proposition as well as their other customer acquisition activities, including the family club. Since November 2020, Juliette has been the Commercial Director at Green Gift Cards, a Jellyfish Livewire brand, working to grow the business by increasing the customer base and looking at new opportunities in the wider gift card market.
Juliette is a mum to a two-year-old boy and attended multiple classes in the early stages of his life. However, this was affected by the C-19 pandemic, and she felt the impact of not attending any face to face activities. Knowing the benefits these classes offer has made her passionate about the Little Starts brand and the value of early stage classes for both parents and their little ones. Drawing on her gift card sector expertise, Juliette will be working closely with Little Starts' founder, Katie Lavis, on scaling the business.
Tanya will be your dedicated point of contact should you need help with updating contact or class details going forward.
Tanya has a wealth of administration and customer services experience before becoming a mum herself. Like so many mums, she too enjoyed taking her boys to a wide range of classes where both child development and the social aspect played an equally important role. Following the birth of her second son, Tanya wanted a chance to get back into work in a way that fitted around her home life and the rigours of being a mum to two energetic boys. LIttle Starts is the perfect fit for Tanya and her young family.
