The Staff Room

Meet the Stainer & Bell Team. As you can see from the smiley faces below, we're a happy lot here at Victoria House.

	Jeremy Aknai Sales Manager & Music Editor A music graduate of York, Jeremy joined us in February 2000. Since then he has become not only the invoicing whizz of Finchley, but also a hard-core Sibelius user (perfectly legal in the UK!).

	Mandy Aknai Production Director After over 4 years at Stainer & Bell, Mandy went to the other side of the world to get as far away as possible. However, she missed us so much she returned 12 months later. Since then she has further demonstrated her love for S&B by marrying one of us! (Jeremy).

	Richard Bullen Production Assistant Newest recruit Richard probably plays more musical instruments than the rest of us put together. He is also by far the tallest member of staff, making us all look like Halfling Hobbits.

	Caroline Holloway Hire Librarian A music graduate of Exeter, Caroline runs our busy Hire Library and Promotion Department. When she's not on the phone talking to composers, conductors or librarians, she's normally in the library talking to herself!

	Antony Kearns Deputy Managing Director Antony is primarily responsible for IT. He's a trumpeter and a keen Squash player - not usually at the same time though.

	Deborah Pfeffer Accounts Deborah is probably the most popular member of staff here at S&B. This could be because she is so friendly and helpful, but of course it might just be becasue she is responsible for paying the wages.

	Carol Wakefield Joint Managing Director Stainer & Bell is in Carol's blood - she is our longest serving member of staff and has family links with the firm dating back to 1912.

	Keith Wakefield Joint Managing Director Keith (Wurlitzer) Wakefield is responsible for getting S&B 'Organ'ised. A proud owner of two Conns, a Wurlitzer and a fairground organ, Keith can often be found twiddling in the Warehouse.

	Nicholas Williams Publishing Director Cambridge graduate, Nick is also a music critic for The Independent Newspaper. For much of his time at S&B he is tied up reviewing new manuscripts - we normally untie him on Friday afternoons.
