Meet The Team St Albans

Although Copperfield is nearly 46 years old, the business - under its new ownership - is actually pretty new. We thought it was about time we introduced ourselves, this is who we are.

COPPERFIELD ST ALBANS

HARRISON

Harry left school at 17 and got his first job working for the menswear store in St Albans. At this stage in his life things like; his beloved Leicester winning the league; and embarking on buying trips around Europe; would have been a very distant dream. Life is a funny old thing and little did he know that 10 years later he would be buying the store he started at and turning it into the Copperfield you see before you today. Harry is working mostly in the new Canterbury store at the moment but enjoys getting outdoors when he can, he is a true wilderness man at heart. Harry's favourite brand in store is Snow Peak and, as you can imagine, having worked in a store that’s stocked Stone Island for around 30 years - he has quite the collection of jackets.

JACK

Jack has been here since Harry took over the business and has helped Harry’s vision become a reality. Jack now oversees the web store and all creative content for Copperfield and even takes to the shop floor on Saturdays as the self-proclaimed king of shop floor sales. He can be seen on family walks on days off or in the Ikea canteen eating his weight in Swedish meat balls in anticipation of an afternoon of flat pack. Jack is looking forward to new winter arrivals from all collections as, being the palest man to walk the earth, winter is his preferred season.

GEMMA

Gemma is our basset-hound-owning, plant-loving, St Albans store manager. Our Gem brings just enough feminine touches to a menswear store like; green plants, nice smells and putting a dog bowl outside the shop door to keep her furry pals hydrated. Joining us 3 years ago, Gem is now the heart of our St Albans store and can be found happily chatting to customers on the shop floor about travels and some of the glorious brands we stock. Gemma likes to mix it up and wear some men’s items from her favourite Parisian brands APC and AMI. When not in the store Gem is a keen yoga enthusiast, even learning to become a yoga teacher herself one day.

TOM

This is Tom, BMT, Big Man Tom! Tom joined us in September 2018 and cemented himself as the Mark Viduka of the St Albans store. Strong, upfront, and occasionally hung over, Tom also likes drinking 4 cups of "splosh" (tea) a day and running long distances fast, having just ran his first half marathon in an impressive 1 hour 33 minutes. Tom looks after the St Albans store duties when Gemma is taking a day off and also helps out the web team when things get a little crazy. Tom is looking forward to Carhartt arriving in a few weeks and our first seasons collection from Engineered Garments.

GUY

Guy is responsible for almost every single photo you see on our social networks and website, making us look alright. We questioned Guy's role here at Copperfield when we discovered that his favourite beer is Fosters but, then again, he works out as a cheap date, so we kept him. Guy can be seen working the shop floor on Saturdays and behind the lens in the week. He loves his Japanese brands and is happy to see Nanamica making a return this winter.

REUBEN

Reuben has joined the team within the last 6 months to help with our ever growing online presence. Having a very directional and driven member on the team has helped us raise the bar further. He enjoys the finer things in life including eating out at the top restaurants and learning about art and design. But is truly a family man, spending as much time with his family as possible. Stone Island and new arrivals from Porter for winter are what Reuben is excited about this season.

BEN

This is Ben, Our resident Junglist and drum and bass master. When Ben isn’t spinning at the wheels, he can be found bringing his friendly, positive vibes to the shop floor of St. Albans. Ben has just finished at London’s Fashion Retail Academy and is our newest team member. Ben likes holidays, cigarettes, beers in the sun and walking his new Beagle Toki.
