Co-Owner
Janet
Janet heads up the production here at Goupie HQ. It's thanks to her (and in part her mother) that we have all the delicious Goupie flavours today. Janet really is the brains behind Goupie. Almost every single one of our 21 flavours has been created by her. That's right, she's the genius behind flavours such as White Cardamom, Dark Lavender and our trio of festive flavours. She's also remarkably good at it, often nailing the recipe after just a few attempts - much to the despair of those of us who profit from her mistakes (i.e. eating the evidence!)
Co-Owner
Grace
Grace owns and runs the business alongside Janet. Her primary roles are the sales, marketing and branding of the product, so you can thank her for all of our Goupie Playlists!
She's the business head of the family so is usually roped in to assist with any issues we have.
Production Assistant
Karen
Karen has been with Goupie for almost 9 years, though she's been very nearby for a whole lot longer, as she owns the farm where our factory is based!
Karen loves cows and on her days off will be found on a tractor riding around the fruit orchards on which we sit..
Production Assistant
Claire
Claire's been with us for just over 9 years now, so is a professional Goupie maker! She loves tasting artisan gins and ciders in her spare time, and of course, her collie dog <3
Co-Owner
Joe
Joe was the initial Goupie salesman when we started back in 2009. He's since taken a step back to focus on his other business, Diary of a Tile Addict, but still makes the time to do tasting sessions, deliveries and the occasional tea round!
Sales executive
Tony
Tony has recently joined us two days a week, after going part-time in his regular job, in order to help Goupie grow. He does already have a vested interest as he's also Grace's boyfriend! We've got him doing a bit of everything from production to sales, but you'll most likely find him at your local tasting session.
Digital Lead & Production Assistant
Hanna
The newest Goupie member, Hanna, is actually the youngest daughter in the Simpson family. She's been in the background at Goupie for years but has finally got an official role - managing the social media accounts, maintaining the website, and occasionally heading into the factory when times are busy. She's also responsible for the new Limited Edition Goupies making their way into your bellies!
