Meet the Team
Twilight Trees was established in 2014 by Susie Reid Thomas and is a proud family business. Product and service are our tip top priorities. And if you think our products sparkle, you should meet our people. The team at Twilight Trees are professional through and through but be assured, those who work hard, play hard too! So who are we?
Susie Reid Thomas
Founder and Creative director
Susie is our founder and maverick, visionary and en’tree’preneur. With a talent for design, a head for business and the ability to charm the pants of pretty much anybody, she’s the secret ingredient in this company and certainly adds the sparkle!
Dominic Newbold
Brand Ambassador and Onsite Manager
Dom brings the energy. Whether it’s a de-rig at 2am or the meeting at 9am the next morning, you can’t shake the enthusiasm off this one! Passionate about trees, fitness and his beloved Netherlands. Just make sure you don’t Google him…
Sheldon Thompson
Chief Technician
Sheldon runs a tight ship and could probably build one too. This man can make just about anything. Being a proud South African, he’s also the absolute master of the ‘brai’.
Andrew Reid Thomas
Director
Andrew makes the cogs turn. He knows the business inside out and is instrumental in its success and at nearly 7 foot tall he’s certainly reaching for the higher branches. He also makes an absolutely killer G&T.
Luby Howden
Art & Events Director
She has a sunflower yellow shed and a sunny disposition. Luby is a creative at heart and probably the nicest person you’ll come across. She cares about each and every one of our clients and be it a huge event that you’re planning or an intimate wedding, be assured that Luby will hold your hand throughout. When not found at our treehouse she’ll be found on the allotment charming all the old boys!
Amelia Locke
Marketing and Communications
Amelia is our wordsmith. She’s passionate about the brand and its people and it’s rather lucky that her job is to shout it from the treetops!
Lazlo Marten
Event Ops
King of the set-up. A proud Hungarian, this guy is as strong as an Ox, has a twinkle in his eye and knows how to boss the moss.
Vinnie Howden
Top Dog
Vinnie can mainly be found under a desk, pootling round the pool or chewing on a Dentastick. He’s very important, top dog in fact…
Peter Antenen
Executive Director/Guru
Peter has a superhuman brain, inexhaustible energy and a unique outlook on life. He’s our business compass and we’d be lost without him…
Liv Berry
Events Manager
Liv is the first point of contact at Twilight Trees and will guide you through the way we work. A farmer’s daughter, Liv is a no-nonsense character with a can-do attitude and a caring nature and you couldn’t be in better hands.
Having spent four years organising cycling and trekking events across the globe, Liv is a logistics mastermind and we couldn’t be happier to have her on the team.
Tracy
Chief Foliator
Tracy rocks a tool belt better than any girl in the treehouse. With a creative background and a head for business, Tracy knows how to make a tree catwalk ready. Our chief foliator may have a sweet disposition but don’t be fooled, she’s also a keen shot at the rifle range.
