Meet the Team
Anna
No one has an eye for detail like Anna, she brings the little extra touches to your event that will make an instant impact and bring a smile to everyone’s face, Though few have a smile as big and beautiful as hers. She makes sure that our venues and events look that extra bit unique and that’s before we mention her fun, silly and warm presence as a host. If Anna was an item from the Swap Shop she would be the glitter station as she’s guaranteed to leave you sparkling.
Chloe J
Our resident super talented make up artist can do everything from the perfect halloween horror mask to ethereal wedding make up and everything in between. Chloe is a creative do-er who can turn her hand to decor, make up, hair, glitter and so much more. Together with her partner Mark they are a warm, hilarious and supportive new members of the Swap Shop crew.
Jessica
Hostess with the Mostess - singer, dancer, sleeping beauty, stylist and nucleus of fun, Jessica will have your CEO in lycra and your bestie twerking on our video platform before you can finish the tongue twister game she just got you playing...Jessica is one of our brilliant games hosts and bringers of fun.
Oli(pop)
Long time fangirl of festivals, immersive events and fancy dress. Oli has solid organisational expertise resulting from working large-scale events for many years for her day job, and throwing a few wild and wacky costumed private parties on the side. Oli’s wardrobe, full to bursting with fabulous trinkets and tabards along with a burning desire to get others into fancy dress, became the basis of the Swap Shop. If she was an item from the Swap Shop she’d be a pair of tassled epaulettes as she loves to shimmy.
Tabi
Bright, funny and warm, Tabi is everyone's secret favourite, she will make you laugh, help you wipe your tears away and ensure that you feel looked after at every turn. Able games hostess and swap shopper extraordinaire, Tabi brings her fine art degree to bear on some beautiful face-painting/glitter and our rapidly improving signage!
Bella / Nat
Creative, talented, lively and a lot of fun Bella is a double threat, having an excellent eye for decor and an innate sense of silliness that endears her to everyone she meets during the build or in the running of events. Bella will be the one who starts the water fights, owns the dance off and still manages to build the creative elements beautifully at the same time. Nat is a bundle of fun and good vibes. If she was an item from the Swap Shop she would be the pink fluffy heart jacket as despite always being cold she’s full of love.
Jackie
Host with the most - he IS the drama... teacher. Boom boom. Jackie missed his calling as a TV hosts but their loss is our gain as he is possibly the most enthusiastic and encouraging host you could hope for, delighting guests with quick wit and daft games - his imagination knows no bounds.
Liz
A brilliant creative Liz can upcycle furniture into wild and wonderful 70s and 80s inspired disco glamour styles…. Want fringing, sparkles, rainbow colours and fierce impact? You bet! Her imagination knows no boundaries and she is a do-er, bringing hard work and grit to deliver her talents at weddings, festivals and events. Still the only bride I know to have made her own wedding dress into a rainbow extravaganza to beautiful effect. If Liz was an item from the Swap Shop she’d be a sequin jacket, well-tailored, bright and sparkly.
Sair
Sarah is a fab florist, decor specialist, sewing expert and life of the party. She’s our resident specialist in all things creative and qualified up to her eyeballs. She can design and deliver anything from decor to outfit alterations, floral installations to flower crowns. As she used to be a teacher Sarah is also great at sharing her skills through headdress workshops and headpiece lessons. If Sair was an item from the Swap Shop she’d be the rabbit hat as she talks a lot and is very fluffy.
Tom
The man with many names, Little Tom, Original Tom or Bang Average Tom is known for his fearless fashion, puerile sense of humour and generally laid back style. Tom has an all round can-do attitude and is also very handy on the officialities as our in-house lawyer. Thankfully he is a lot less serious in spandex and brings lots of fun and plenty of arm strength to the Swap Shop crew. If Tom was an item from the swap shop he’d be a pair of leggings as he’s comfortable yet fabulous…
Chloe
Chloe is originally a northern bird who migrated south for the winter and became too top heavy with sequins to ever go back! She brings the feathers and tongue in-cheek immersive performance to any event including Olipop’s Swap Shop (and can regularly be found yelling BABE). If she could have a swap shop super power, it would be to fit into any item of clothing as there are some seriously fabulous pieces in there. If Chloe could be an item of swapped clothing, I'd be the oversized fluffy heart hat - cute, slightly ridiculous but equally stylish.
Jenna
Jenna is from Brighton and her Swap Shop superpower is making everything extra pretty and customizing clothing and accessories to take them to the next level. Jenna is a jewelry maker by trade and brings her fabulous wares to festivals. She absolutely loves dancing around encouraging guests to dress up and have fun. Jenna loves seeing what clothes are being brought in to swap - and seeing how fab guests look in their new outfits when they leave. If Jenna was an item of (swapped natch) clothing she’d be a sparkly faux fur coat with pockets filled with (bio) glitter.

Mark
Uber creative, talented chippie, production expert and the knower of things, Mark carries the ability to solve almost any challenge set in front of him, be that building our Swap Shop sign, creating staging, designing and delivering a perfect Barbie Box or tent erection, Mark is a valued, kind and experienced member of our team...just a shame he loves purple so much...
Sharmilla
Sharmilla will help you bring your vision to lyyyfe! She’s usually found with a glue gun in hand and covered head to toe in glitter but what she loves most is watching people unleash their unbound creativity into the world in her successful headdress making workshops. If she was a Swap Shop item of clothing, she would be the fluffiest, snuggliest, hug-inducing coat (with led lights in!) because what’s better than a cuddle puddle at a festival?!? Sharmilla heads up her own independent fashion brand, Pluma.
