Alisha
A bit of a hippy, vegetarian, practices mindfulness, might come into work and ask you if you saw the sunset last night, you know the sort. Equally, you might walk into the Barmouth and see her getting on it, she likes an ethically sourced cocktail! Alisha is a Barmouth girl who moved away, but like many of us couldn’t resist the draw of home, that’s been our gain. At work, Alisha is thorough and conscientious and will always be happy to help.
Dave
Better known as American Dave, you’ve probably got a good idea of the bloke from his beard, you
won’t be surprised to hear he has his own forge and makes things out of metal, with a penchant for
knives. He absolutely loves his dog, a mini schnauzer called Artemis! He has to as everyone else finds
it really annoying because of his constant barking. At work, Dave really knows his stuff, and if he
doesn’t, he is going to find out for you very quickly.
Fred
We don’t really know how he has got himself onto this website? The day we took the photos must
have been one of the 5 days he has worked here in the last 12 months. But to be fair he does run a
couple of pubs in his spare time. At work, you probably won’t meet him as he is never here unless
we have a problem and he comes to save us… that or the accounts need doing.
Jack
I guess I’m quite a peculiar man and I like things my own way which must be hard for everyone else
here. Always happy to help and chat to the customers, just be careful I don’t go off on a tangent or
start preaching about my latest conspiracy or political theory as I have an opinion on most things.
Pieces for Places was my idea initially, but now it’s everyone that works here’s baby.
James
FWAW! He just Loves the Wolves, don’t he! He is a doting father of his son, Jacob, often posting
some sickly posts on Instagram about what a great dad he is @jamug. What he doesn’t tell you is he
lives next door to his Mum and Dad and is mothered himself. At work it’s a different story, he really
is the daddy, if anyone has a problem they turn to James.
Kirstye
I can’t really say anything bad about Kirstye, she is just too nice. Back in the early days of Pieces for
Places, Kirstye did used to like to party with her toy boy Ynyr, and as you can see Kirstye spells her
name wrong (it's not a Welsh spelling if you were wondering). Now Kirstye is a mother and a wife those party days are mostly behind her. At work she is like a machine, extremely diligent she sets a
pace we all struggle to keep up with.
Nia
A big rugby fan Nia isn’t happy if she misses a Wales game. Nia’s other great love is K-pop, some
crazy life-consuming genre of music that comes out of Korea. Apart from that Nia takes a mean
photograph and gets her head around things quickly, like building this website! At work when you
talk to her as a customer you will find her very polite and formal, don’t worry Nia is just shy, she
relaxes once you have known her for several years.
Sophie
Super bubbly and smiley Sophie put’s a smile on all our faces, but don’t be fooled by her ditzy
persona, it’s a sham she has perfected over the years to wrap us all around her finger. Sophie is
actually super capable with her eyes on the horizon, always threatening to pack up and move to
Paris to become a blogger or something equally frivolous. We all hope she sticks around for good
though because she is a great asset to the team.
Tom
Tom was initially brought in as a mascot essentially, the guy is so happy, just being around him puts
you in a good mood, he’s also easy on the eye so helps make the shop look stylish. As it turned out
he is also remarkably good at his job. Tom and his team take care of your deliveries, apart from that Tom is also applying himself to all other sales aspects of the business so is
a good guy to ask for some help.
Jordan
A Scouser really but now Barmouth through and through. Jordan has a quiet, unflappable demeaner, but don't worry, there is much more to him than just a pretty face. He has worked on Barmouth High Street for years running a couple of different shops but thankfully jumped ship to us so he could work with his mates.

Ruari
He calls himself "King of Barmouth..." I'm not sure anyone else does though? If you drive past the Tal-y-Don at five past six you will probably spot Ruari stood outside with a pint and a cigarette in his hand, surveying his kingdom. His Mum keeps his bed made up for him in his old room as he often ends up back there after a night on the town and he is treated to cups of tea and breakfast the next day.
