Steph took over the directorship of Pier1 from her husband, Angus, in 2022. A psychologist by profession, Steph has spent the past 12 years as an academic, researching the dynamics of high-performing teams within the context of surgical care. Now fully dedicated to the family business, Steph is passionate about the belief that a thriving company is built on a happy and healthy workforce. She places great importance on the fundamental values of effective communication, shared decision-making, and teamwork.
Steph is in the showroom every weekday, engaging with customers and brainstorming with the close-knit team at Pier1.

She likes to stay involved in the details and progress of every project, regardless of its size or scope, ensuring that the high standards of Pier1 are always upheld.

Leanne
Head of Operations
In her previous role in financial services, Leanne developed an extensive skill set, overseeing and coordinating operations across a large company with multiple assets. She excelled at ensuring effective controls and procedures were in place, which enabled the smooth functioning of complex processes. Leanne brings this strong organisational ability to our small team, streamlining our operations and ensuring that every step of the customer journey — from ordering products to managing delivery schedules and handling logistical issues — is handled efficiently.
Her meticulous attention to detail and strategic planning skills provides invaluable support, allowing the entire team to function at its best. She is dedicated to maintaining the exceptional standard of after-care service we are known for by consistently anticipating potential challenges and proactively resolving them. Leanne’s ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and her talent for organising resources ensures all details are meticulously covered, while customers are kept informed and updated throughout their experience.
Since joining the company, we have discovered that Leanne also has a secret talent and eye for design! As a result, she is often the sounding board for the design team and takes charge of dressing and updating the showroom.
