About Us

I have wanted to own my own stationery shop since I was 11 years old. I was 39 when I finally achieved my ambition and opened The Pencil Case! I love spending my days chatting to customers, having fun with my team, sourcing fabulous new stationery ranges from across the world and thinking of ways to make our shop and website even better for our customers – the team has got used to me regularly exclaiming “I’ve had an idea!”

I joined the team part-time in 2017 having spent many years working in primary education and am now work full time as the Assistant Store Manager. I am responsible for our shop floor and making sure it looks the best that it can do for when our customers pop in and see us! I love working in the shop – no two days are the same! The best thing about my job is when a customer leaves with a smile on their face and is genuinely thrilled with their new purchase.

I will be working in the shop over the summer holidays, I have just finished my A Levels at Cowbridge Comprehensive school and am starting university in September at Nottingham University to study Aeronautical Engineering! In my spare time I love to play cricket. I enjoy working in the shop because I get to see all of our lovely customers on a regular basis and help them find everything they need during the Back to School season.

I first became a member of the TPC team in 2019, originally coming in once a week to volunteer. Now that i’ve finished my GCSE’s, I’m looking forward to working in the shop over the summer. During my free time I enjoy horse riding. Rydw i’n ddisgybl yn Ysgol Bro Morgannwg ac yn hapus i siarad drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

This is my first summer as part of the TPC team! I have just finished my first year at Exeter University studying International Business and Spanish. My spare time is filled by playing lots of golf, as well as following Swansea City (!) and Glamorgan cricket. Rydw i’n siarad Cymraeg yn rhugl, felly plis dewch i siarad gyda fi!

I started working in The Pencil Case during the summer of 2022. I am part of the summer / holiday staff and enjoying being able to engage with my local community. I attended Cowbridge Comprehensive where I split most of my time between doing musical theatre as well as an array of sports. After finishing school in 2020, I have continued to work as a gymnastics coach and currently attend Durham University where I study Archaeology & Anthropology. I am enjoying the opportunity to work at The Pencil Case as I can help individuals in the area.
