About us

We’re based in the grounds of Forde Abbey, Somerset, in a goat shed and above a forge where it’s not unusual to see a herd of bulls charge by the window or be followed through the office by a pack of dirty spaniels.

We’re still growing and learn new lessons all the time (often the hard way) but it’s our passion for what we do that drives us. We constantly travel in search of fresh ideas and our own jewellery designs are made in Mexico where we also source from other crafts people. Our ethos is see it, like it, buy it and that’s exactly what we do. This makes many designs very limited and some complete one offs. We are special because of this constant introduction of fresh, new products.

Title: Managing Director

About me:
I am really a farmer at heart but have always known that I really wanted to have control of my own life and so when offered the chance to set up Hiho with my sister Caroline I jumped in right away. So I can now buy and sell shiny silver jewellery as well as drive tractors and lamb sheep, I promise you I do use these skills more than you can imagine.

Most of the time I am flat out trying to ensure Hiho is going in the right direction but when I am not doing that I am normally to be found on a horse with my wife and kids! We are very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country and spend as much time as possible enjoying the wonderful countryside from the beaches of Dorset to the rolling hills of Devon.

Title: Consumer Relations Director

AKA: Queen of Excellence

Quote: "It's not Terry's, it's mine!"

About me:
At Hiho we always try to put our customers first... both internal and external. We therefore identified the importance of a role to champion this cause, and that’s where I come in.

My new role is Consumer Relations Director, trying to keep everyone happy! Its a dirty job but someone has to do it! Not just that, its about fulfilling our potential as individuals and as a company. It’s about listening to and learning from our customers. Creating a fantastic working environment, somewhere where people are happy to be. Somewhere where it is a pleasure to shop.

Title: Finance Director

AKA: Queen of the Coffers

Quote: "Have we got any biccies?"

About me:
I’ve been working with the Hiho team for about three years now and I love it!! Where else could I get to mix with fabulous (if slightly mad) people and to wear and choose beautiful jewellery and homewares?? I don’t work with Hiho all the time, as I also have my own business called Portfolio Directors (www.portfoliodirectors.com) – but I’m not sure that they could cope with me all day, every day anyway ;-) My job with Hiho is to help develop the business and look after the financials, but I get involved with all sorts of things including marketing, training and anything else that gets chucked my way really.

I love,love,love being based in the Somerset countryside and I live here with my hubby, two children aged 5 and 7 and a few pigs, sheep and chickens – we’re trying to live a slightly greener life, but I do seem to kill plants on a regular basis, so having a bit of trouble on the green fingers front – any tips??
