Nicki Kavanagh Managing Director

I founded The Juniper Company in 2002 after working in change management and marketing communications at a senior level for a number of years. My strengths are in my keen observation skills, coaching and facilitation and I am a fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management. I take a very much “hands on” approach to everything I do and enjoy working closely with my team and our clients.


My particular passion is equestrian eventing and I am currently learning to commentate at British Eventing events.

Hannah Speck Account Manager

As an Account Manager at The Juniper Co., my aim is to truly understand our clients’ unique challenges and priorities which, in turn, allows me to offer the best possible recommendations and solutions.

With more than 10 years in account management, I combine my experience in managing complex projects with a people-centred approach and passion for building lasting relationships. I always strive to go the extra mile and my aim is for our clients to feel we have exceeded their expectations.

Outside of work, I love to get outdoors and enjoy going for regular hikes in the stunning local countryside. I also consider myself a bit of a “foodie” and love to try out new recipes at home or dine-out when I can. In either case, I am happiest when sharing these experiences with my friends and family.

Ann Smith Account Manager

I am an Account Manager at The Juniper Co. Having gained a solid career in recruitment operations and client partnership, combined with my experience in learning and development, my key strengths are in providing a creative and forward-thinking partnership with my clients, listening, and understanding what matters to them, and seeking to create value in my delivery.

I'm naturally curious and inquisitive, and love to get to the centre of an issue and untangle a problem!

Away from the office I enjoy time spent with my friends and family, this is so important to me. I'm a lover of the great outdoors, and most early mornings I can be found walking around the local lakes with my diva dog!! It’s a great way to start the day. I have a passion for music, most genres, and am always seeking out live events. I also love to cook and have recently turned my hand to growing vegetables to add to the cooking pot.

Alison Coleman Account Manager & Marketing Specialist

As an Account Manager and Marketing Specialist, my role is to use my marketing communications and project management experience to deliver the best results for our clients, alongside amplifying the great work done by The Juniper Team.

I offer the best of both worlds, balancing a passion for creativity and innovation with a love of detail and a pragmatic approach to achieving successful outcomes.

Having spent more than 15 years refining my skills as a wordsmith, I particularly enjoy writing attention-grabbing content. I love delivering copy that reaches out to people and makes them feel inspired.

When not in the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can usually be found riding my horse, walking my dog, or following wildlife with a camera in my hand.
