“HELLO”
Jumini is a family run business and between us we have 6 children who love our brightly coloured beautifully finished toys…even for the grown-ups wooden toys give us a wonderful sense of nostalgia.
Our aim is to support the little one’s development and make life more exciting for their inquisitive minds with our unique traditional crafted wooden toys for children of all ages. As well as the much-loved traditional items, our designers have come up with some new and exciting toys which will make your wooden toy display stand out from the crowd.
All of our toys have been produced by an environmentally conscious manufacturer which ensures that all the toys are made from sustainable materials and they meet the highest quality and safety standards.
We are based in Milton Keynes where we have a show room, so you are more than welcome to make an appointment to come along and view our products and have a little play yourself!
We look forward to meeting you very soon.
Lots of Love Jumini
Julian Garner
The Boss
Julian, who is by trade a Civil Engineer, has a wide-ranging work history including Programme Manager for Seven Trent Water, Director of a family run fireworks company and latterly, founder of Inside Out Toys Ltd. This toy business began in 2011 and has grown steadily ever since across the UK and more recently, Europe.
Julian is a family man at heart, with children ranging from school age to grown up and flown the nest.
In his spare time he enjoys coaching his local junior football team, fishing and generally spending time with his family.
Nikki Garner
The Real Boss
Nikki is a country girl at heart, who comes from a farming background. As well as working for jumini, she manages to juggle 4 children, 2 dogs, a horse, a husband AND running her own bag and luggage business (www.yasminbags.co.uk).
Before starting in business, Nikki worked for Hewlett Packard for over 20 years in various roles, including marketing, finance and project management.
When she does get some spare time she likes to spend it supporting her children in their hobbies (football and pony club), dining out with her hubby and teenage girls, or riding her horse Nemo through the countryside.
Lesley Vance
The Organiser
Lesley has had a diverse career background ranging from hospitality, to social media and business analysis before joining us here at Jumini. Returning to work after a break to start a family, Lesley is used to being surrounded by toys, although hopefully there is not as much tidying up required at the office!
As a mum of two young boys she has her hands full, but if she does get any spare time she enjoys painting illustrations and is an avid reader. She is also a fan of live music and films.
Sri Albaradura
Warehouse/IT Manager
Sri was born in Sri Lanka and moved to the UK in 2009 to be with his British wife. He is a devoted family man with a young daughter and two grown up step children. He has had a diverse career with a long history in IT and web design, and for many years worked in real estate.
When he’s not working at Inside Out Toys, he is running his Sri Lankan real estate company www.ceylonestateagents.com
