Our Team

Keith mainly works with the Interiors team and is out and about visiting customers in their homes to carry out initial enquiries, advice and fitting when required. His strengths are solving specific problems and providing technical solutions.

“I really enjoy meeting customers and helping them create the perfect look in their home. There are some fascinating people and places in the Dales and it’s a real privilege to get out there and experience it on a daily basis”.

“The part of the job I enjoy the most is to see the team grow their skills and confidence by pushing themselves to achieve more than they ever thought they ever could”.

During the first lockdown Leonie introduced a new EPOS system as well as building an online shop which takes a lot of maintenance.  She is the go to person for anything HR related as well as the buyer of all products on the Ground Floor.

In her spare time Leonie enjoys walking with Teddy, spending time with friends and singing with The Dales Community Pop Choir.

Hannah studied Marketing in the States and has continued her studies in further marketing back home in the UK. She is very interested in visual arts.

Sarah enjoys helping customers to choose new styles and items for their homes and tries to provide all the information that they need. Sarah follows customer orders to ensure we maintain the high standards.

Paula moved to Leyburn from the North East in 2003, and worked in a variety of secretarial and admin roles before joining Milners in June 2021.  She enjoys walking and spending time with her family and, like Leonie, is a member of the Dales Community Pop Choir.

Sharon has been seamstress to Milners for some time now and we’d be lost without her. She is one very talented lady! Making up made to measure curtains and roman blinds for our customers, she is dedicated to her work and very much a perfectionist in everything she produces. If you’re looking for great additions to add to your home, you won’t get a better service than from Sharon. Somehow, Sharon also manages to fit in carrying out alterations for Milners customers too!

Janet enjoys reading, walking, socialising, meeting with friends, spending time with her family and of course a pleasure to assist and help with customer enquiries. 

Eleanor has recently moved into the local area from the North York Moors. Having studied Business Admin Level 2 & 3 at York College she is very excited to bring these skills into Milners. She very much likes fashion, especially the country which she wears most days. In her spare time she enjoys exploring the countryside with her Border Collie Eva, visiting her family, pairing outfits together for social media. Eleanor is also a member of the local Young Farmers Club.

Linda has a very cute dog called Jake whom she enjoys walking all around our beautiful dales countryside. 

A keen photographer, Andrew is often responsible for a few of our mugshots and takes some incredible photographs from around the Dales, some of his work can be seen in local galleries.

Brian is responsible for fitting carpets and flooring on our behalf. He has an excellent reputation for his commitments to customers and will go above and beyond the call of duty to help and make sure the fitting process runs as smoothly as possible. There’s never a dull moment when Brian is about, he is a laugh a minute!

He is also a brilliant doorbell - whilst we were closed during the lockdowns he would alert us to deliveries and customers coming to collect items.  When he is not at the shop he loves nothing more than chasing a ball, he also loves playing with his little brother from another mother – Timmy (Leonie’s lockdown adopted kitten).
