Interesting facts: Andy is responsible for making sure that all the complicated Baumhas computer systems are working and that our servers operate 100% securely - yes he is a boffin! In his spare time, he is undoubtedly one of the biggest petrol-heads on the planet. He has been racing in Monoposto / F3 for a number of years with the team Spawny Whippet Motorsport, and has won lots of shiny trophies! He is also a qualified heliopter pilot. On a quieter note (!), he enjoys sailing and can be found bobbing around on a boat most weekends. For some odd reason, he also enjoys building computers from scratch (he has done 100s of them) and his house looks like the inside of the tardis.

Life outside of work (in New York):
We all worry about the unflappable Juan and his dubious hobbies!
He is an ardent Chelsea Football Club fan, and we welcome people giving him grief about this! Joe exudes class, and has been spotted in his garden, sitting in an inflatable England chair with a can of lager in his hand. As well as normal football, he also likes American football and in between matches, likes going to weird music gigs and cooking (cooking at home, not at the gigs that is!). Joe runs the warehouse is responsible for making sure all your orders are processed as quickly as possible and that they are ready for Rebecca to dispatch.

Whizz is the arty one of the team!
She is a teacher of 'scrap-booking' (to you and I, that means making photographs look funky!) and has had a number of her designs feature in magazines. At weekends she goes Geocashing (internet treasure hunts) and has undertaken over 400 so far. She loves The Killers, and is a fan of Arsenal Football Club. She is a whizz with figures, and always makes sure all the Baumhaus accounts are in perfect order.

Andy is a person who believes in one word answers like: Do you give 30 days credit? NO, Do you offer discount? NEVER. You will find him still thinking he is 16 racing his son around the local BMX track in Chorley or should we say trying to catch up with his son. He had his moment of fame when he was on the TV gameshow ‘Gods Gift’ with Devina McCall (and lost). He has more motoring ‘accidents’ (which he claims ‘arent’ his fault) than a Ford Motors test lab, his latest company car had two of these ‘non fault’ bumps before he’d had the car 7 days! His wife Kate owns a beauty salon so keep a close eye on his ‘’tan’’! He’s Met Kylie Minogue, Dave Stuart, Dani Beir, and is sorry to say non of them will remember him!
