Meet the team!

Hi all!

We've had the blog running for a few months now and we've had the business running for even longer. In fact celebrated our 4th birthday this year!

We thought it was about time we gave you a (semi-)formal introduction to the members of Funky Monkey Pants.

Emma - Founder of Funky Monkey Pants

Emma at her desk before it was buried in paper work.

Without Emma there simply wouldn't be a Funky Monkey Pants and we'd all be a little worse off. Emma was a big fan of cloth nappies and decided that she wanted to share the wonderful world of cloth with others. As for the name, that was inspired by a cloth nappy covered in monkeys. Those were some funky pants indeed.
     Emma is very dedicated to providing the best products for everyone and will often go out of her way to help a customer, she loves to give advice and help you get the best nappy for your needs.
     When she's not busy packing orders, Emma usually finds herself trapped behind a fortress of paper work slowly chipping away at figures. She never sounds keen to do it but these things have to be done!

Bill (Adult Bill) - Social Media & Marketing Coordinator

Bill Dressed as a Rebel Pilot.

You may be able to guess that Bill was given the freedom to choose him own job title, Emma was going for "Dogsbody" but "Social Media & Marketing Coordinator" has a more important sound to it.
      Bill graduated from university last year with a Bachelor of Arts degree and felt incredibly lucky when an opportunity for work in a relevant field appeared. Having initially been hired on a 4 to 8 week work experience trial, his unrelenting dedication and efficiency led Emma to keep him on as an official employee.
     Bill spends his time updating the site, creating images for us to use and managing the social media aspects of the business.

Emma's Dad/Steve - Website Designer

Steve was a major pillar in creating Funky Monkey Pants. He taught himself HTML and created the Funky Monkey Pants website we all use today.

Steve wishes to remain anonymous at this time.

Elowen - Nappy Tester/Office Artwork Provider

Elowen is Emma's youngest daughter and when Funky Monkey Pants was just starting out, she was also nappy tester. As she grew up though she naturally moved on from this job to other responsibilities.
      These days Elowen provides artwork which we have been using to decorate the office. Emma has a collection of Elowen's earliest pieces in front of her desk and Bill has a very colourful snail on the wall next to his.
      Elowen also cares for our office mascots, Baby Bill and Oobicoo. She regularly updates their wardrobe to keep them looking fresh and fashionable.

Baby Bill and Oobicoo - Official Team Mascots

At one time there was just Oobicoo but not long after Adult Bill joined the group we received Baby Bill in the post and Oobi was alone no more.
      Their main role around the office is to sit down on the sofa and offer moral support throughout the long working day. They also act as models for whatever nappies or items of clothing Elowen decides they should be wearing.
