The Staff Room

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.

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.
