About

Born in Holland as Petronella Meyer, Petra always had a gift with interiors, using her amazing creativity to combine old and new, timeless and modern. Her European roots and farming upbringing gave her a distinctively unique furnishing identity - no one could pull off styling their kitchen using an antique French Oak dining table with ultra-modern Lloyd Loom chairs quite like her! Petra's own home in The Marsh in rural Herefordshire became part of the inspiration for our name, Meyer & Marsh as well as the unique style that we are so proud of today. Starting initially selling Lloyd Loom products online from home, with just a phone and a laptop, she finally followed her real passion for furniture & interior retail by opening our lovely shop in 2014. From the day we opened until present, Petra's talent at selecting gorgeous ranges and laying them out so beautifully remains part of what we try and recreate at Meyer & Marsh.

We very sadly lost Petra in 2020, and she is terribly missed by us all. Her brilliant and quirky interior flair is still very much felt in the shop today.

Picking up the reins from mum Petra, Tori has worked in the furniture industry for more than 20 years, travelling all over the world sourcing product to sell into retail shops in the UK. She now spends her time looking for lovely new product for Meyer & Marsh as well as the day to day running of the shop. Any free time is spent with her horses or dogs and, occasionally, husband Jay, who is also a part of the team here.

Rachel is the Manager of our team here and is super-efficient at keeping us all organised as well as being brilliantly creative - she is equally talented at keeping the logistics running smoothly as she is bringing together a fabulous room layout. With her background as a jewellery designer, she is currently studying for her British Academy of Interior Design qualification and is also responsible for the displays in store. At her happiest “faffing” in the shop creating the stunning layouts that we have become known for, she also enjoys searching for beautiful new furniture and accessories and she has helped lots of our customers choose the perfect colour scheme and style for their home. Rachel lives in Worcestershire with son Lewis and Victorian Bulldogs Mabel & Hendrix.

Nina is Herefordshire born and bred, and although her Cocker Spaniel Kobi is very much the light of her life, she is definitely a people person and loves dealing with our fantastic customers. Making sure they take their time to choose their perfect piece of furniture is top of Nina's priority, and she be encouraging you to kick your shoes off and sit on our sofas in store just as you do in your own living room.

Don’t be fooled by the boyish good looks, Will wears many hats at Meyer & Marsh..

Not just good with numbers but brilliantly creative, Lau is in charge of accounts and also does a fab job with our social media. Often seen clicking away with her camera in the shop, she is originally from Swansea and now lives in rural Herefordshire with husband Rob, daughter Ella, 2 cats and a collective of chickens.

Karen is the latest addition to the MM family, after she originally joined us in 2021 and we are so happy to have her back again. Karen makes sure that the cogs of our essential admin runs smoothly, and she is also just as happy out on the shop floor talking to our lovely customers. Karen lives in Herefordshire with her husband and children and her fab Cockerpoo Digby.

Heading up our logistics and warehouse, Paul makes sure that your furniture is looked after as it arrives here with us. Together with Will he assembles and carefully delivers to your home. He can turn his hand to absolutely anything, helping Rachel make the shop displays look amazing, and he very particular about making sure that every piece of furniture he puts together is spot on. In his spare time Paul loves trail biking and lives in rural Herefordshire with his wife and labradors.
