Meet the team



Anthony Gerard
Director
Anthony began working with The Modern Garden Company in 2012 and has since built extensive expertise in delivering outdoor solutions for hotel owners, operators, designers, architects, specifiers, and procurement teams. He oversees high-end hospitality sales across the UK, Europe, and the Far East, with a client portfolio that includes Peninsula Hotels, Belmond Hotels, Conran & Partners, and Muza Lab.

Susan Perry
Director
Susan has been with The Modern Garden Company for 20 years, having led its sister company, The Modern Home Company, in South Africa. Now based in the UK, she brings deep product knowledge and a strong understanding of outdoor solutions for all climates. Her expertise lies in collaborating with designers and landscapers, and nurturing long-term client relationships that benefit all involved.

Lynne Isham
Design Consultant
After more than 20 years at the helm of The Modern Garden Company, Lynne has decided to step aside to pursue her interest in exterior design. She is now working as a consultant, bringing her wealth of experience and knowledge to our larger, more complex projects.

Amelie Gerard
Sales & Marketing Manager
Amelie began her career at a leading Knowledge on Demand firm in London, working as a Capital Markets Researcher within Client Services. She rapidly emerged as a top performer, consistently surpassing sales targets. In early 2025, she joined The Modern Garden Company, bringing with her a proven track record in business development, a strong foundation in social media marketing, and a sharp commercial mindset.

Jane Le Grove
Accountant
Jane is a Fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (FCCA) with decades of experience providing bookkeeping services across a range of companies. We’re fortunate to benefit from her extensive financial expertise—though we do share her with the local District Scout Group, where she also serves as Treasurer.

Milo & Lola
Company Mascots
Milo and Lola take their roles as company mascots very seriously—testing cushions, claiming sunny spots, and ensuring every piece meets their high standards for lounging. They're the paw-fessionals behind our commitment to comfort.
