Devon Eco Boutique - Ottery St Mary

Meet the team

Ollie - Chief Tester

Is now 4 years old.

When he was small, he was a dribble monster. He is now a pre schooler who plays rough, so he has definitely been the ideal tester and model to put the products through their paces. The brands we've chosen are because they are affordable, organic, soft on gentle skin, stretch to allow a growing baby /toddler the freedom to move without restrictions, wash clean easily each time, easy to style, perfect for dribbly babies and able to withstand rough play.

Nicci - Founder / Director

I wear many hats! But, by far my favourite is being a mum to a cheeky little munchkin we call Nugget (first craving).

A little about my experience:- I've previously managed an e-commerce store, worked in logistics for over 8 years (including managing in two third party logistics companies),and, before I went back to University, was a Service Delivery supervisor for a waste management company. I have a degree with honours in Business Human Resource management and due to start my masters Sep 2024.

My happy place is definitely anywhere outdoors but I am most at home by the sea. I'm a total water baby so I'm often watching the sunrise / set by the water somewhere, wild swimming or kayaking.

Sharnie - Christmas Support

Hello! I’m Sharnie and I will be joining the team on Saturdays. I’m a mum of two boys (well, men now!) who have moved out to start their own adventures, leaving me at home with my husband and Doug, our cockapoo. We moved to Devon from Brighton about a year ago, to embark on our own new adventure. I have worked in the NHS for the past 21 years as a Paediatric Nurse and Health Visitor, and continue to practice on much reduced hours, giving me time to explore our new home and all that the area has to offer. I’m hoping to try out some new hobbies in the coming months and suggestions will be gratefully received! I enjoy walking - there are so many glorious places to walk Doug locally - running, reading and visiting exhibitions. I’ve also discovered recently that I love gardening, which is handy as we have acquired a quite large and unruly garden with our new house. I also love Strictly and Bake Off :) I am so looking forward to starting my new role and meeting all the lovely customers in the store on Saturdays.

Karl - Maintenance/ Design

Is my partner in crime, Ollie's father and a self-employed Carpenter and Joiner by trade in East Devon. He established @elitecarpentry.Joinery Jan 2020

Even with Elite Carpentry & Joinery taking off, he's been a very important part of this journey and is hugely involved behind the scenes. Including refitting our beautiful shop furniture which was designed and built by Karl from reclaimed scaffold boards, cable drums, Barrels, birch faced ply, osb, and donated pallets from our neighbouring shop Abbots DIY

When he's not working he's busy hanging off a rock (either indoors or outdoors) cycling or tinkering
