John Herbert - Managing Director
John is our Managing Director and is our resident office furniture expert. He lives in Colchester and is married with 2 daughters, Claire and Jess. He has two grandchildren, Leoni & Junior and George, a cockerpoo, who all keep John feeling young!
He has over 40 years of experience in all aspects of office furniture, including space planning, office refurbishments, bespoke solutions, etc.
When on holiday, John loves to go travelling on cruise ships.
He regularly visits many parts of the country to survey office space and discuss customer requirements- if you would like to have a meeting or just a chat about any furniture needs, John’s your man and he loves a challenge.
Current & recent jobs include furniture installations in Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Macclesfield, Scarborough, Plymouth & The City. Can’t understand why he says that local jobs are always very welcome!
What’s your favourite thing about being part of the Gosh family?
Having a team that go the extra distance to provide excellent customer service
Claire Lovell - Director
Claire is John’s co-director here at Gosh. Claire has a passion for stationery (however strange that sounds) which was all started by her Dad having a shop in Colchester High Street where she would spend Saturday’s ‘testing’ all the lovely pens. Claire loves bright coloured offices and chairs, pens and has a real love of brightly coloured post-it notes.
Claire has a knack for identifying and sourcing weird and wonderful stationery and office furniture items to match existing things you may have. She is often found networking with other business owners, promoting the business and supporting others.
Claire is a mum of two - Leoni and Junior.
She loves pink things, has over 100 pairs of shoes, including a box under her desk, spending time with her children and bottomless brunches with friends.
What’s your favourite thing about being part of the Gosh family?
Our wonderful staff and customers. And the great selection of brightly coloured stationery!
Mark Page – Director of Sales
Mark has been part of the Gosh family since March 2019 and has been in the industry for 30 years, not quite a dinosaur yet.
He loves to listen to clients’ needs and requirements and then go away to build a solution to deliver over their expectations.
Mark has 3 sons ranging in age from 16-34 and a house of reptiles, Barney the python, Pebbles the dragon, and of course a good woman behind them all.
Mark enjoys travelling, socialising, food and fitness, the fitness is not as easy as it was these days.
What’s your favourite thing about being part of the Gosh family?
We always satisfy the customer.

Jordan Robinson – Driver/Fitter
Jordan is our newest team member joining us in December 2022 as a Driver/Fitter. Jordan has previously worked as a driver and a roofer and in other trades, so is ideal when we have any tricky furniture installations.
Jordan is a people person and family is a big part of his life. Jordan loves working at Gosh as it is a home from home. He loves his job and being able to provide excellent customer service. He always has a smile on his face and goes above and beyond for our customers.
His favourite part of the job is the furniture installations, he enjoys challenging himself building new products and takes pride in his work. So much so that his fiancé is shown photos of the completed jobs every evening (which we’re sure she loves!).
What’s your favourite thing about being part of the Gosh family?
Here at Gosh, we are a big family and I love working here.
