The shop is very much Janet's baby, it all came from her vision. She is also responsible for the most of the buying and arranging the displays.
Janet is the reason that the things we have to offer are so varied, different and of such a high quality.
Give her a nice birthday card and seconds later she will be looking at the back to see if we can get them into the shop.

If Janet makes sure everything looks good then John is the one that makes it all work. A stalwart of the "engine room" paddling away under a (mostly) graceful surface.
John is a business visionary, constantly looking for ways to adapt or advance both the Hop Pocket and the family farm.
Do try to make it to the Hop Pocket at Christmas time, its John's job to light us up like a Christmas tree.

Matthew spent five years in London teaching IT. He sold up came home in 2004. Matthew's role is partly to bridge between John and Janets' roles.
Matthew is also responsible for the website, developing the online shop and trying to drag the stock system entirely onto computer.
I spend most of my time in the stockroom booking in the nice things Mum has bought, so Dad can pay the nice people who make them.
