ABOUT FRANK MOUNTAIN
I’m the Co-Founder and Commercial Director of Lola Design Ltd, an independent design-led brand in greeting cards and gift stationery. For the past nine years, I’ve led the commercial, operational and financial side of the business, working alongside my wife, who is the creative force behind our product design. Together with our small team, we’ve built the brand step by step and now supply over 500 UK retailers, from independent shops to partners such as John Lewis, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, as well as a supplying number of international markets such as the US and Japan. It’s been very much a journey of learning, adapting and improving as we go. My background in FMCG, shopper and brand marketing has given me a practical foundation for the work I do today focusing on growing our availability in B2B and B2C channels. What motivates me the most is delighting our customers through delivering great product experiences and mutual growth.
