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.

Testimonials
Having worked with the MG Co. for almost 25 years it has always been a complete pleasure, and the patience and enthusiasm of the whole team is endless! We very much value the wide range of excellent brands available and your knowledge of them all is exceptional.
At a time when some companies use call centres for enquiries, it is very reassuring to know that I can call and speak to one of you at any time. This, along with your reliability and dedicated service, will no doubt ensure productive, fun and enjoyable relationships for all who work with you.
Charlotte Sanderson of Charlotte Sanderson Garden Design
We have recently worked with MGCo on a large commercial project in London and, despite this being a new working relationship, their professionalism and depth of knowledge around the specialist requirements for the hospitality industry has been clear from the outset. The team has been consistently helpful and responsive, making the entire process smooth and efficient.
We have also established a strong personal rapport, which makes our collaboration not only productive, but enjoyable... MGCO’s comprehensive range of brands covers the majority of our requirements for mid to high-end projects, and we look forward to working with them again on future ventures.
Ariane Steinbeck of Commune Well
Charlotte Rowe Garden Design has sourced furniture for our clients for many years from The Modern Garden Company and over that time we have built a strong working relationship. They offer a really wide selection of garden furniture across many brands which enables us to give our clients a good choice of products from which to select.
