Stuart and Helen founded EquipMySchool in 2007 with a simple mantra: always keep your promises.

A born digital native, Stuart has an intrinsic understanding of software, hardware, systems and processes; he loves ice cream and evenings in with a roaring log fire and his family of four.

Helen and Stuart founded EquipMySchool on a bedrock of hard work, tenacity and love of fulfillment. In the words of their mentor, Clive, the Customer is King, full stop.

Helen is passionate about Fine Art photography and has a purple belt in kickboxing, a joy she shares with her twelve year old Maezie, the eldest of four girls. The family also includes a yellow Fireblade, a cherry-colored Harley, a Dalmatian and a Cockapoo. Helen loves to take her camera on long motorcycle rides in the English countryside: come along via Instagram @chel.photography.

Brad spends his days ensuring the Client Care Team has all the tools they need to support our International Schools around the world with queries and enquires alike. He likes putting smiles on the faces of those around him, often with weird and wonderful facts about a multitude of topics.

With the ability to look sagaciously at any given scenario and armed with a Bachelor’s in English and Creative Writing, Brad champions EquipMySchool’s aim to provide the highest possible standard of service.

Time outside of working hours is often spent enjoying long walks through the country-side or relaxing with his admittedly pampered pooch.

In the evenings you will find this coffee-loving, pint-sized firecracker feeding family and friends. She likes reading, spending time with family and eating out.

James ensures all UK shipments dispatch and arrive on time, every time. Originally from Belfast, James has long lived in Lincolnshire with his wife and family, and has been with EquipMySchool from the very beginning, honing our warehouse processes into efficient, rock-solid routines.  He loves his work and believes anything worth doing is worth doing well.  

Passionate about football and golf, James has many medals from his cup matches, but he is most proud of his collection of lucky jerseys for “the best teams,” Manchester United and the Glasgow Rangers.  A devoted family man, he enjoys hanging out with his kiddos in the evenings, and looks forward to a holiday together at Disney World someday.

Antonio is a devoted husband to his wife Amanda and a caring father to two amazing kids, Layla and Izayah. Alongside his human family, he shares his love with two fur babies, Reily and Romee.

During his leisure hours, Antonio spends quality time with his family and generously offers his time and support to his lodge, Monks Corner Lodge #323, actively participating in various charitable events.

Mel works in Quality Control and is never hesitant to speak up when she sees a path to a better solution for a client.  She enjoys solving problems and was initially lured to us by the promise that every day would feel like Christmas morning, what with the huge number of parcels to open.  

On the weekends, she enjoys spending time in the garden, visiting her parents, and the lights of her life, her five grandkids.  She loves driving and has a little soft top MX5 . Her lifelong dream is to live on a canal boat, watching the world go by and stopping every so often at waterside pubs to taste the local brews.

Mother of two extremely cute bunnies, Adele’s caring nature finds her checking in on bunny cam during lunch breaks where she often finds the kids getting up to no good.

With a great eye for detail, Adele is always keen to get stuck into any problems and will not stop until she finds the solution.

Interesting fact – being opposite ends of the height scale, Adele’s partner is the same height kneeling as her when she is standing!

Geniveve embarked on her journey with Equipmyschool in 2021, initially in a chasing team role before ascending to become the purchasing lead for the US team. Prior to this, she honed her skills in retail customer service at a BPO company in the Philippines.

Her daily routine is anchored by her love for Spanish Latte, basking in warm lighting, and serenaded by feel-good tunes. Employing the Pomodoro technique, she efficiently manages her time and attention span.

Outside of work, Geniveve finds joy in caring for her two Aspin dogs and a Shih Tzu with a bulldog-like appearance. During weekends, she indulges her passion for mangas and anime, nurturing a dream of establishing a manga cafe where enthusiasts can unwind with their favorite reads.

Ariana assists Brooke at Goods In, inspecting all materials on arrival and checking them into our system on a line by line basis, ensuring each item is exactly as requested by clients.  She reports all shortages, incorrect materials and any queries immediately to our Purchasing team, ensuring prompt resolution. Extremely detail-oriented and organized, Ariana strives for perfection with a smile.  She loves being able to solve issues on the spot and “never settles for good, only for the best.”

She moved to the US from Italy in 1996 and treasures annual visits back home to visit family and friends, especially to Venice, which mesmerizes her every time she sees it.  Ariana loves treasure hunting in flea markets, the challenges that arise during restoration, and the pleasure in providing the secret lives of objects with fresh new chapters.  Additionally, she adores coffee, road trips with her 21 year old daughter, and summertime South Carolina: the beach, the sun, the heat and the relaxation that comes with it!
