Meet the Team
Meet the Wiggly Team
At the heart of Wiggly Wigglers is a dedicated team, each with a specific role that keeps both the farm and the business running smoothly. Together, we ensure that everything works like clockwork, from farm to customer.
Heather Gorringe
Heather is the founder of Wiggly Wigglers. She’s the creative force behind the business, coming up with new ideas and staying ahead of trends in natural gardening. Heather’s passion for sustainable farming and wildlife-friendly gardening drives what we do and she’s always working on ways to connect the farm with our customers’ gardens.
Lydia Hinton
Lyd is our dispatch expert and takes care of order quality control. She’s responsible for making sure that every order is carefully packed and sent off with all the attention to detail we’re known for. Lyd ensures that every item meets our high standards before it’s shipped, so our customers always get the best experience. Whether it’s checking product quality or double-checking orders, Lyd is all about making sure everything’s perfect.
Monty Gorringe
Monty is hands-on with the farm’s daily operations and takes the lead on ensuring the production side of things runs well. He’s in charge of coordinating the harvesting and prep of materials for our wild bird food mixes, making sure everything is fresh and ready for packaging. Monty’s commitment to quality means that every batch we produce is consistent, essential for customers and garden birds alike.
Fern
Fern is all enthusiasm, all the time. She throws herself into everything with energy, whether it’s helping with herding, retrieving, or just running around the fields. She’s not the most precise at times, but her willingness to help out anywhere is appreciated. She’s also the friendliest of the three, greeting anyone who comes by with a wagging tail and muddy paws.
San Montague
San is The Money Person. She’s in charge of the finances, making sure that everything adds up and the business stays on solid ground. From budgeting to keeping an eye on the numbers, San’s financial expertise ensures that the farm and Wiggly Wigglers remain sustainable. She keeps us in check with her sharp eye for detail.
Rob Gale
Rob is in charge of marketing and web design. He’s the creative behind our online presence, making sure our website is easy to use and looks great. Rob also manages all things marketing—whether it’s social media, email campaigns, or keeping our blog updated with fresh content. He’s responsible for making sure Wiggly Wigglers gets the word out and stays connected with our customers in the digital space.
Dennis
Dennis keeps everything ticking along with a keen eye on efficiency and quality control. He plays a vital role in making sure that each product, whether it’s the Bokashi kits or birdseed mixes, is assembled and packaged correctly before it heads out to customers. His eye for detail ensures that everything is up to scratch and in apple pie order for Rach.
Marjorie
Marjory is getting on a bit now and this means she’s becoming a little bit grumpy and spends most of her time staying close to the house. Being quite short, she has a habit of getting covered in mud whenever she ventures out. She still keeps a sharp eye out for pests around the farm and does her very best to make sure no rats or mice make their way into the barns. Her small stature is supposed to help get her get into tight spots but Marjory is very keen on snacks so is a little heavier than ideal….
Rachel Jones
Rach handles logistics and stock management. She makes sure that we’re never caught short on products and that all orders are processed efficiently. From keeping an eye on inventory levels to coordinating with suppliers, Rach ensures that we have what we need, when we need it. She’s also the one making sure your order gets packed and out the door in good time, so everything runs smoothly from warehouse to customer.
Farmer Phil
Phil is our go-to for all things machinery and production. He ensures that the equipment is running smoothly and that the raw materials are processed efficiently. Whether it’s preparing the grains for our birdseed mixes or handling the components for our Bokashi composters, Phil’s helps ensure our products are up to the standards we set for our customers.
Mavro
Mavro – whose name means “Black” in Greek, is a real character on the farm. With his wrinkled face and calm demeanor, he might seem like he’s taking it easy, but don’t be fooled – Mavro is always on the job. Originally bred for herding in ancient China, his instincts are still sharp, and he’s surprisingly skilled. He moves with a quiet confidence around the livestock, guiding them exactly where they need to go without a fuss. His laid-back attitude masks just how alert he really and he keeps a watchful eye on the farm at all times…
