✨ MEET THE TEAM ✨

Meet Helene, our Office Manager and officially the longest serving member of the Vanilla Bean team, celebrating an amazing 16 years with us! 🤍

Helene is the one helping keep everything organised behind the scenes and is always there to support the team wherever needed. Outside of work, she loves going to the gym, spending time gardening and being with her family – with 4 children and 5 grandchildren, there’s never a quiet moment! 🫶

She’s also a rather relieved Spurs fan after this season 😅⚽️

Thank you Helene for 16 years of loyalty, hard work and being such a beloved part of the Vanilla Bean family ✨
