Directors
Ian Crossley (Managing Director)
My main role is to ensure that our customers get great value and service from our design, print, web, signage and marketing support solutions. I aim to identify printed and electronic communication solutions that will bring customers real value and return on investment.
I oversee all technical issues internally from software, hardware, internal workflows, networks and commercial print systems. I head up the company's strategic marketing team.
I like to think I keep my colleagues on their toes - but I think the reality is the other way round.
An initial career in sports teaching and coaching means I'm very results focused - much to everyone's annoyance. I often hark back to the good old days when Echo and the Bunnymen (still on my iPod), Stan Smith trainers and driving a Triumph Stag were considered really cool.
Interested in: Strategic Marketing, Sustainable Development and new technologies that make a difference.

Timi van Houten (Director, Creative and Sustainability)
My days are spent working on your visual communications, design and layout - whether a complete re-brand, a concise intelligent brochure, creative newsletter, exhibition graphics or a special event item. A clear and focussed approach gets results.
I work with larger organisations managing bespoke communications projects and helping deliver better brand management.
Additionally, my time is taken on promoting sustainability within our company and wider business community. Enhancing our and our clients' environmental credentials is a passion and delivers measurable results.
Remote countryside is my ideal. I find socialising fun; and my smaller friends include several medium hens (ex battery), 40000 bees, a family of swallows and a medium dog.
Interested in: Sustainable Development, Brand Management and developing creative, new ideas.
Customer Account Managers
Molly (Sales Director)
I play a vital role.I am always on hand to greet customers, woof at random and ensure my colleagues are well and happy. My duties include sleeping under Timi's desk and being taken for walks.
I love lying on my back and demanding a belly rub - I am the only female in the Greenhouse that can get away with this.
Bonio's are always appreciated from visitors - and in return I will do my best to get you the best deal possible.
Interested in: Bonios and belly rubs.
Sara Lewis (Senior Account Manager)
Ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction by managing existing accounts effectively is a large chunk of my day. It's important to get in front of our customers to find out what their newest challenges are and to offer solutions to these, also simply to maintain that human contact so often lost with email these days.
Creating and sourcing new customers is also part of my work. Greenhouse have a lot to offer under one roof to new customers, getting the message out there using multiple media channels often pays off very well.
I live with my husband Craig and our daughter Olivia. I like cooking, walking, exploring new places, and countryside pubs, although mostly time is taken up raising a 15 month old who is into just about EVERYTHING!
Paul Stevens (Senior Account Manager)
My area of expertise is in the realms of display, exhibition and signage graphics. I have experience in providing effective solutions for banners, posters, exhibition displays, internal and external signage.
Greenhouse offers a great opportunity to provide comprehensive solutions for organisations due to our in house production facilities.
Studio
Kevin Jeffery (Senior Artworker)
Whether it be artworking or preparing your files for printing, 25 years experience in design and print means I can produce your jobs more cost effectively and the way you expect them to look.
When not moving data around you might see me moving a golf ball around at Weybrook Park, but probably with less precision. Bit of a Gooner, so next year is always our year! Music likes are 80's Electronic through to Dance from OMD to Ibiza, as long there is no one rapping in it.
Nathan Sayers (Creative Designer)

I schedule jobs on various processes to ensure delivery deadlines are met. I am also responsible for health and safety in the print room.
I am a season ticket holder at Reading FC, play regular five-a-side football and enjoy a night out. I am a danger to myself after a few drinks and have the bumps to prove it.

As the only Aussie in the team I am happy, but never popular, when the Green & Gold come up trumps!! Like many Antipodeans I love to travel and I also relish a good Vegemite vs. Marmite debate.
