Here at Helen Bateman we rely on a small army of people behind the shop floor scene. This diverse team ranges from single-handed operations such as Jimmy - our joiner and 'Mr Fixit' man, right through to the ever-expanding Bailliey Signs who give us our 'face'.
In our People We Work With pages we offer contact details (and other more frivolous information!) on this dedicated crew.
In our People & Things We Love we offer information and details on companies and products we love and feel are worth mentioning, and in On Our Doorstep, we give a mention to those others who make up the hustle and bustle of William Street at our headquarters in Edinburgh.
