Paul
Hi I’m Paul and I own The Added Extra along with my wife Joanna.
My role consists of the day-to-day running of the company. Mainly the (boring) financial side while trusting my fabulous staff in their roles to ensure every event we do runs smoothly. Also creating new ideas that show initiative to keep us in front of our competitors.
My favourite part of the role is seeing how all of the staff come together in their individual roles creating events that in most cases will be the most special day in our customers lifetime. At the very least we will produce great photo opportunities.
You can find me in our Head Office in our showroom. I can also be found at night driving the vans delivering party items for hire!
Jo
Hi I’m Jo and I’m the Managing Partner for The Added Extra.
My role mainly consists of answering emails after normal office hours and putting together / creating the children’s party packages.
During lockdown, luckily, with our sweet box deliveries me and Paul were kept very busy.
One of my favourite parts of the job is seeing the children’s faces when we deliver their items. It’s also fun finding out details and chatting about future wedding plans with our Bride and Grooms at the Wedding Fayres.
You will find me either at our Showroom getting creative or working from home! Once we are out of this pandemic you will also find me back at the Wedding Fayres helping you plan your special day.
El
Hi Im El and i am the Events Manager.
I take care of all the Photobooths, Selfie Mirrors and Pylons ensuring they all run smoothly keeping up to date with all Photo Booth software. I help train and organise all the event staff to ensure all weddings and events run correctly.
I find myself working more and more around the events which i’m loving as it means i can become more involved.
I’m also a big part of organising our photoshoots and show days when we open up our premises to the public.
Jason
Hi I’m Jas and work in Maintenance for The Added Extra.
My role mainly consists of maintaining all letters and props to make sure they are to the highest spec ready for delivery to the venues and to add that ‘added extra’ to the customers special day.
My favourite part of the role is seeing the customers faces when we arrive with the products as I get to help with the deliveries too, and seeing how blown away they are makes all the hard work worth it.
You can find me in the warehouse covered in paint making sure your special day is all that you wished for!
Nathan
Hi I’m Nathan, the Logistics & Warehouse Manager.
My role consists of ensuring all items are ready to go out for hire in a legal and well presented way. It’s then my responsibility to make sure items arrive to their destination on time by liaising with all the venues and producing the driver itineraries. If all this doesn’t keep me busy i then log all items back in, maintaining the warehouse and stock taking.
I’m a bit of a night owl so i do enjoy working through the night as my 2 children keep me busy through the day. A lot of the items we deliver especially to weddings happen over the early hours of the morning, so it’s not unusual to be setting a wedding up at 4am.
Hannah
Hi i’m Hannah and I work in Operations ensuring all weddings and events run on time and the way the customer demands.
I love chatting to all the engaged couples and venue organisers, to make sure their special day goes without a hitch.
I’m a huge part of the day to day running of the company and you would most likely be greeted by me if you ring or email us.
Isla
Hi I’m Isla and assist in both the Operations and Events departments. I am attending more and more wedding shows so it would most likely be me that would greet you.
I assist in the social media content, trying to portray the fun we have as staff as well as displaying to customers the great work we do.
I work a lot in the TAE Group which involves the marketing of the Podcast and Boardroom. I strive in pushing local business forward including those in the wedding industry.
Paul
Hi I’m the “other” Paul and I work in the warehouse and carry out the delivery and collections of the items hired.
It’s a job I never thought I would do as I was used to warehouse work but I really enjoy seeing the various wedding set ups at all the different wedding venues.
Faye
Hi, I’m Faye and I am the Retail Manager. I love dealing with customers every day and though I work slightly away from the main part of The Added Extra, I still feel part of the team.
I still occasionally do the balloon creation as this is how I was introduced in to the company. It seemed a shame to waste all the balloon training I had received so like to keep refreshed.
Louise
Hi I’m Louise and I am the Assistant Retail Manager.
Naturally I assist in the retail department and work closely with Faye.
However I do the odd Selfie Mirror from time to time and I act as the welcome person at the Hub show days when The Added Extra hold their own Wedding Fayre at the warehouse
Ella
Hi I’m Ella and I help in assisting with the balloon creation.
I actually have my own company whereby I import balloons into the UK and sell via various selling websites.
I enjoy working with The Added Extra team who are always very welcoming and I love being nosey in seeing the preparation for the events for the upcoming weekend.
