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 & Production Assistant 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).
	Caroline Holloway Hire Librarian A music graduate from 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! (She doesn't always wear a hat though.)
	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.
	Derek Roberts Warehouseman Derek despatches our music to the four corners of the globe. When we need to send a parcel in a hurry, we can rely on Derek to tell us just where to stick it.
	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.
