More from Jo-Dee:
"I'm an avid movie fan, so it will be no suprise that my favourite Widdop collections are Harry Potter and Disney.
My Harry Potter house is Hufflepuff and my favourite Disney character is Ariel.
I also love our Christmas ranges and am really excited about Now or Never as the potential is endless.
My favourite holiday destination is Thailand - I just love its culture-stacked cities and world-famous beaches 😀
You may have seen me at the odd trade show here and there and I look forward to seeing you again as a representative of Widdop & Co."

Joining in 2019, Matt brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team and previously sold books and gift stationery into the garden centre and gift sectors.
