Meet The Team
We say team but we really are a family
A bit like the mafia once you are in it’s not easy to leave
Tracy
The founding partner of the business it is Tracys vision that has brought us to this point and keeps everyone on their toes by continually developing and adapting the business. Tracy has also spent the last few years studying her other passion dogs and is a behaviourist within her other business THE CANINE LIFESTYLE
Graham
The man behind the scenes and often behind the till. Graham brings Tracys ideas to life be it knocking down walls, installing toilets or patching up the paintwork. His other job is photography and he can be found most weekends behind the lens shooting dogs GINGER AND BLACK PHOTOGRAPHY
Nicky
Nicky may not want to admit how long she has been at leykers and was shocked to realise she started before the Saturday students were born. As the manager Nicky is involved in all operations in store and really pushes the boat out with the events. She is also Mum to a Saturday girl in waiting
Michelle
Becoming part of the family in 2006 Michelle knows all areas of the business. She left for a short while to have her son in 2012 and now just joins us on a part time basis. Michelle can work all areas but is most at home behind the food counter
Vicky
Vicky has been with Leykers since day one! Being Tracys sister she was a shoo-in for a Saturday job. She left briefly to attend Hartpury College and is the proud Mum to two beautiful boys. You will usually find Vicky running around trying to get the highest daily step count and she also makes snuffle mats
Laura
Most people hear Laura before they see her. Starting her journey in 2013 even Laura is surprised she is still here let alone Assistant Manager. Laura spends her spare time as the lead singer in a band Stoned-F who are available for bookings click the link below for more information
Trina
You will usually find Trina at the food end of the business either making your sandwiches or baking cakes. She may be small but never underestimate the power in her ponytail flicks. She loves her cats.
Rhea
Rhea is an all round good egg always found with a smile as she serves you at the till. A bit of an overachiever as she won the shooting challenge at our staff Christmas party but hey we’re not bitter
Cat
Cat joined us to fulfil the work experience part of her business course at college and then just stayed. Her real passion in life is her horse and we love to hear her stories of their exploits
Chloe
Chloe came to us having already worked for a rival coffee shop but it’s ok we showed her how to do it properly. She left to complete her masters in geology and has valiantly returned in the midst of the covid crisis
