Meet The Family

I joined G. Seller in 2014 after working in events from the age of 16. I was appointed Events Manager in a 5* hotel at the tender age of 19. I looked after events for Arsenal FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Wembley, Wimbledon Tennis and Volvo cars. I am a qualified memorial safety inspector, manage the memorial department and I look after Pre-Paid Funerals.

I love to go skiing, keeping fit at the gym and enjoying a glass of wine with my friends. l also keep exceptionally busy looking after my young daughters, Alexa and Rosie.

I joined G. Seller in 1972. I trained to become an embalmer in London and became a qualified Funeral Director soon after. I have been the driving force behind the business for the last 40 years. In the last few years I’ve taken a step back from the day to day running of the business and allowed the younger generation to come to the fore. Although I still stay involved.

I like football and I’m a season ticket holder at Leicester City with my son, Joseph. I am an avid cook and quite often bring in homemade soup and bread to the office for everyone’s lunch.

I joined G. Seller in 1993. I am a trained shorthand typist and secretary. I worked for Anglia Building Society, now known as the Nationwide Building Society and also for an estate agents. In January 2020, I took a step back from my role and look after my granddaughters Alexa and Rosie.

I am an avid traveller, in particular on cruise ships and enjoy ballroom dancing with my husband, David.

I originally joined G. Seller in February 1998 at the age of 17. After 14 years I moved on to be the Head of Operations at a large funeral conglomerate. I re-joined the family team again after 11 years away at the beginning of January 2023 and have 25 years’ experience in the funeral profession.

Outside of work I enjoy time with my family and friends and a game of snooker and squash, I’m also an avid Formula One fan.

Having suffered a close bereavement in my early teens, my decision to pursue a career in the Funeral Business was purely vocational. I joined G. Seller in 1984 on a Youth Training Scheme and trained as an embalmer, mentored by David Barsby.

I have experienced employment nationwide within the funeral profession in a career which now spans over 35 years, have been a member of a specialist Worldwide Disaster team, assisting in the repatriation of air-crash victims. I am qualified Embalmer, and hold the Diploma in Funeral Directing.

I enjoy spending my down time at home with my wife, Karen. I am also ‘Mummy’ to Dotty and Bertie, known as Team Westie!

I started my career in the funeral industry when I was 16 working with my Dad, a Funeral Director in Peterborough.

At the age of 24 I joined G. Seller as a Funeral Operative. In my years in this role I learnt the importance of looking after families loved ones and the attention to detail required to carry out a funeral. I was taught the embalming procedure, and through much hard work I am now a qualified Funeral Director and feel privileged to be able to help people at such a difficult time.

Outside G. Seller, I fulfil my other important roles as a dad to my daughter and husband to my wife, and enjoy taking our motorhome away as a family for a weekend to explore.

I enjoy running and am a West Ham fan. Despite not growing up in the area I have found the community to be very welcoming, except maybe for a few language barriers particularly when discussing the particulars of the difference between a ‘bread roll’ and a ‘cob’.

I came to G. Seller, in 2001, as a casual Driver and Pall Bearer. At this time, I had my own business as a Haulage Contractor. As I spent more time working for G. Seller, I realised that I had found my vocation, and in early 2005 joined the company as a full-time Funeral Operative. I have became professionally qualified in 2011, progressing to Senior Funeral Director.

I live locally, am happily married, and have two children, who are growing up fast. During my leisure time, I am a keen cyclist, and enjoy researching Aviation history.

I worked for years in the photographic industry, but after doing some casual work as a Pall Bearer in 2013, I gained a profound respect for the profession and made the decision to retrain as a Funeral Operative. I learned the fundamentals of funeral care, and proudly progressed to Senior Funeral Director. I joined G. Seller in 2021, and feel privileged to be part of a team that continually strives to offer families the best possible service.

I am married with 3 children and enjoy spending time with my family. I like to keep up my photography skills and also enjoy music, both listening to and playing.

I joined the G. Seller family in December 2022, having worked in the funeral profession since 2018. I decided to work within the funeral profession as I have sadly some lost family members and a few friends.

I feel it is such an honour to care for our clients through their most difficult time in their lives.

Previously I have worked for the Royal Household and the Royal Navy. These roles have given me some great life experience.

In my spare time I enjoy running for a local club in Leicester. I love to run Half Marathons and Wolf Runs! Spending time with my family and friends is very important to me. I also have a real interest in psychology, history, and antiques too.

Shortly after losing my grandma, who was my world, I decided I wanted to work in the funeral profession. I started out as a driver bearer at the beginning of 2019 and soon began training as a Funeral Operative. After spending some time as a Chapel Attendant at a crematorium, I was given the amazing opportunity to join the G. Seller family. I feel so privileged to be working with such amazing people.

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my little boy; we both love days out together, and I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I started working for G. Seller in 2013 when I was 17 years old. I had experience in fireplaces but felt I was more suited to a career in memorial masonry. I am from Stourbridge in Worcestershire and moved here to become a memorial mason and carry out all aspects of memorial masonry including; polishing, drilling, fixing and lettering. In 2014 I qualified as a memorial fixer. In 2019 I began to learn all aspects of administration and looking after families when they’d like to arrange their loved ones memorial.

I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I like to go quad biking and am a West Bromwich Albion fan.

I joined G. Seller in December 2014. My role is Funeral Administrator, Pre-Paid & Memorial Consultant. I’ve worked within the funeral industry for over 15 years and have always wanted to help and support the bereaved.

When I’m not in the office I enjoy baking & decorating celebration cakes. I have found a love of sewing & making my own clothes but my favourite has to be going on days out with my husband and our two daughters, Aria & Leia. During the year I spend time on day trips with Coalville Stroke Club of which my mum is a member.

I joined G. Seller in 2017 after working 8 years at Morrisons supermarket when I decided I wanted a change.

It is a pleasure to be a part of the G. Seller family and have the privilege of being able care for families loved ones in the most difficult of times.

I joined G. Seller in 2021 after working in the hotel industry for 15 years and working as a delivery driver for a couple of years.

It is an honour to be able to work with my cousin in the family business. In my time here I have found myself humbled to be able to make such a sad time for families a little bit easier.

I am married with four children, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and am a big Leicester City fan.

After I experienced G. Seller’s compassionate nature first hand as a customer and the way they cared for myself and my loved ones I decided that this was a vocation that I would like to pursue with them. I feel very proud to be part of the G. Seller family, helping the local community in their time of need.

Outside of work I am married with 4 children. I have been a Leicester City fan for over 30 years.

I also enjoy days out cycling with my wife and socialising with friends.
