Meet The Team

Kate

Having worked in Lakeside as a Retail Manager, I took a break when I had my children and was self employed, helping my husband with our own business.  I began working for Louise in 2012, initially as Pink Flamingo Manager, then spent some time in Starfish, but for the last couple of years I’ve been managing Just Shoes.  The business has been in Whitstable for over thirty years and we have very loyal and lovely customers, whom I love helping.  We stock such good quality brands, you always have every confidence when giving people advice and seeing familiar faces return time after time is a pleasure.

I started working for Louise in December 2016, having moved to lovely Whitstable from London. I worked in visual merchandising for The White Company for a number of years, before taking a bit of a detour (as you do in your 20s!) into West End theatre – both of which I loved. However, it’s great to return to retail and I feel so lucky to have been welcomed into the team – nowadays I mainly work between Pink Flamingo  and Just Shoes.  My favourite parts of the job (aside from our lovely customers!), are the extra opportunities I’ve been given by being part of a small business.  Most recently, I’ve enjoyed developing a new independent website for Just Shoes – I hope you like it!

I started working for Louise in May, 2023. The time has flown by, as my fabulous colleagues settled me right into the role from first introduction... they really are a lovely team to work with! Much nicer than my previous co - workers... cows. I mean real cows! I worked within the farming industry for a few years before deciding my interests lay in fashion... not farming. I became a stylist for All Saints, then quickly realised the commute wasn't for me- so started working in Just Shoes. I truly love working here. We have a multitude of lovely, regular customers, a great working atmosphere and I get to look at beautiful shoes all day!
