TEAM PIXLEY
The Pixley Berries team is charged with developing fresh ingredients and new drinks.
Edward - Founder
He's passionate about the environment and about creating juices with real flavour - the berry fruits, the pome fruits and now rhubarb. His forward thinking is also shown by the commissioning of his own 'Pressoir', the only blackcurrant grower in Britain to be entirely vertically integrated and in control of every element of his production, from the soil to shelf, bush to bottle.
Sarah - Supply Chain Manager
Step into the factory and the first person you’ll meet is our Supply Chain Manager Sarah. A familiar face to all and a fountain of knowledge having been with Pixley for many years! A vital cog in the Pixley wheel to ensure we have the best fruit from British growers and organising internal and external movements.
Mike - Technical Manager
Michael joined us straight from his Food Science and Technology degree at Cardiff Met as our Technical Assistant Manager, he quickly was promoted to TM and has achieved BRC AA status! From micro analysis to carbon footprint studies Mike is a making a name for himself fast! As our resident sustainability expert, he can be often spotted around site with his sellotaped glasses…saving the planet one pair of spectacles at a time!
Keith - Farm Manager
Farm Manager Keith came to Pixley brimming with ideas in 2017 to incorporate modern progressive farming with a passion for horticulture. A keen bee keeper Keith has 5 hives on the farm and the 275 thousand resident bees work as fantastic pollinators for our blackcurrant bushes and cider orchards!
Steph - Accounts and HR Manager
Accounts and HR Manager Steph can be found in the farm office bridging the gap between farm and factory. She’s a new member to the team but already making a big ‘splash’ in the world of Pixley Juice!
Kerri-Anne - Farm Office Administrator
Joining Steph as part of our glamorous farm office team, Kerri-Anne is another new face and her infectious energy has seen her slide into the role with ease. Outside of work, family, sweet treats and the odd shopping splurge are what keep her happy!
Anna - Managing Director
Anna is our Managing Director at Pixley. Keeping us all in check she is the face of Pixley Berries and is driving growth from our roots to our Juice.
Alan - Juice Consultant
Alan is the master craftsman. He has designed the gentle process which delivers the fruity quality of the juices all the way through maceration in the big old Swiss Bucher press and in the natural filtration that follows. Alan and Mary together lead the development of new products, ably assisted by our in-house tasting team.
Calin - Operations Manager
Eastern European born Calin is our longstanding Operations Manager. He knows the way to get the best drop of juice out of fruit and vegetables. Always calm under pressure; he understands and implements our technology to keep us delivering quality juices every time!
Dan - Operations Assistant
Are you getting deja vu? Operation Assistant Manager Dan still often gets mistaken for twin brother Calin despite being at Pixley since 2010! A qualified forestry engineer and with a MSc in biodiversity and conservation Dan takes pride in his work, especially loving the squeezing and squashing of blackcurrants every season. A good doughnut on his coffee break is the secret to his hard work and commitment to helping the factory run smoothly.
Amilcar - Store Manager
Portuguese born 'Milky' has been with Pixley Berries since 2004 as Store Manager, locals to the area may have spotted him on the road in the branded Pixley mobile! In his spare time dare devil Amilcar enjoys motor cross. A true Pixley legend!
