Michelle deals with all the administration and helps with the day to day running of Costume Workshop. She has worked for the company for over 20 years but still claims that she does not know an awful lot about costumes so is probably not the best person to ask if you have a costume query. If you want to know where your parcel is, Michelle is your lady. — Meet Michelle, Admin Dept

Katie originally joined us when she was just 20 (but we are not saying how long ago that is now.) She has attained a wealth of knowledge of all costumes and will often help you with your queries if Tony is not available. — Meet Katie, Costume Preparation Dept

Des originally worked in our costume cleaning department when she joined the company over 10 years ago. However, it soon became evident that she had an eye for detail, style and colour co-ordination so was quickly transferred to the costume preparation team. — Meet Des, Costume Preparation

Carol came to help out for a couple of days 25 years ago and has been with us ever since. We asked if she could stay on till Christmas, but we didn’t mention which Christmas! We have presented Carol with many challenges over the years, from making a gigantic dragon that had to fit into a balloon basket to hand sewing thousands of beads to a bespoke dress. No challenge is too great! — Meet Carol, Sewing Room

Julie has been with Costume Workshop for over 12 years, she never knows quite what her role will be. One day she could be hand sewing the most intricate of costumes and the next day be faced with a large pile of shirts for ironing. We like to call Julie our ‘Jack of all Trades’! — Meet Julie, Sewing Room
