Our people

Henley Chocolates is about far more than just chocolate - it’s a community. From the ‘chocolate fairies’ and suppliers, to customers, stockists and those who live locally in Wootton Wawen, it’s about looking out for each other, celebrating each and every person’s strengths and having a bit of fun along the way.

In the early days Henley Chocolates adopted the collective noun 'Chocolate fairies' for all those who helped create its delicious products! Over the years the name has stuck and at the moment we employ a team of thirteen 'fairies'.

Any introduction to the Henley Chocolates’ ‘team’ has to start with the most important person and our fairy godmother - our cleaner - who truly is out of this world! Not only does she do the most incredible job leaving the place spotless after every visit, regardless of the state it was in when she arrived, but she is also one of the only people who is still able to smile at the sight of the piles of washing up we leave waiting for her!

The yummy chocolates themselves are mostly made by Susie, Sally and Nina, who are our expert chocolatiers. Kate and others work behind the scenes... helping with management, packing, marketing, finance and more! It turns out there's a lot more to running a chocolate business than first meets the eye!

We would like to introduce you to the main people 'behind' your chocolates:

Sally
Director

Sally created Henley Chocolates in 2012 as a hobby business and, while her main role is running the (now rather larger) business, she still very much loves coming in to the kitchen and getting her fingers sticky.

Susie
Production Manager

Susie runs the Henley Chocolates kitchen and without her none of the magic would happen. She's super creative and loves to try whipping up new flavours and designs of chocolate.

Kate
Corporate Account Manager

Kate is in charge of our corporate customer accounts. As first point of contact for our business clients she is always ready to assist you in supplying the products your business needs. Her favourite chocolate is....all of them!

Elliot
Chief Chocolate Taster

Chief chocolate taster, product designer and quality control. Nothing leaves the kitchen without his approval and exacting standards. Where would we be without him?!

Nessa
Social Media Manager

Nessa is our social media manager. Handling enquiries, shouting about our news and even trying her hand at truffle rolling on occasion she's a dab hand at all things chocolate!

"I love with a passion the work I do, the community I work in and the team I work with."
Sally

Our community

Henley Chocolates is an active member of the local community in and around Henley in Arden- we often support local events and charities, including making chocolate cameras for the annual Wootton Wawen photography competition! (You can read more about our charitable giving policy here.)

We love building strong working relationships with our suppliers (read more here) and customers, both of whom are equally on board with working with us to make the world a better, happier and more chocolatey place.

Please do check out the reviews from other customers at the end of each product in the shop.
