Our in-house Mum-ager, Sarah looks after finance and admin at Fred. She's the glue that binds our team together, bean counter and payroll guru. Our very own "Boss", Sarah is the definition of calm and cool, she's our go-to problem solver and the (actual) Mum of twin toddler boys. Her day's may be a whirlwind, but Sarah always has a smile on her face while juggling the biggest or smallest tasks of the day.

Lucy, our globe-trotting dynamo, is as likely to be found planning her next adventure as she is to reminisce about her rural roots on the West Coast farm.
