I swapped 25 years in the pharmaceutical world for the much fluffier side of life when I joined Acorns in 2019. These days I know more about animal health and nutrition than most pets know about themselves—knowledge that comes in very handy when working in the pet industry!

Born and bred in Burnley, I’m a proud Clarets fan (yes, it’s character building). I’m also hooked on F1, which is basically cars going around in circles at 200mph—what’s not to love?

Back in the day, I played all sorts of sports, but now I’ve upgraded to gentler pursuits: strolling through the countryside, wandering beaches, and living my best life in a camper van whenever I can sneak away.

If I were an animal, I’d be a fox—wise, wily, and occasionally found sniffing around campsites.

Hi everyone, I’m Lisa, and I’m so excited to have joined the team at Acorn’s Pet Food Store!

Before joining Acorn’s, I spent my days working in kitchens across the Pendle area, making sure primary school children were well fed and ready for the rest of their school day.

When I’m not at work, you’ll most likely find me exploring the great outdoors with my dog, Callie, or enjoying fun days out with my boys. I love getting out and about and making the most of family time.

If I could be any animal, I’d definitely be a bird! 🐦 There’s something pretty special about being able to fly wherever you fancy and see the world from a whole new perspective.

I’m looking forward to meeting lots of lovely customers (and, of course, plenty of their four-legged friends!) along the way. 🐶🐱

I’m very happy to be part of the team at Acorns. When I’m not at work, I’m happiest enjoying the quiet life at home with my partner and our three elderly cats — who are, of course, completely in charge.

I love baking, spending time outdoors and going for long walks in nature. One of my biggest passions is mushroom spotting, and my favourite place to be is in the woods, camera in hand, seeing what I can find. 🍄📷

I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy meeting them whenever I’m out and about. Now, in my new role at Acorns, I get to meet lots more of them, which makes me very happy indeed! In fact, it’s quite likely I’ll remember your dog’s name before I remember yours. 😂

If I could be any animal, I’d be a bird — mainly so I could fly off and explore all the places you can’t reach on foot. Although knowing me, I’d probably still spend most of my time looking for mushrooms!

I began working at Acorn’s in April 2025, and I’m the youngest in the shop. When I’m not working, you’ll find me out on my little farm, chasing goats, chickens and ducks around or trying to stop my 2 little dogs from chasing them.

If I were an animal, I would definitely be a dog – because let’s be honest what’s better than sleeping all day, being fed, and getting taken for walks?

Luna — Senior Supervisor (and Shop Queen)

I’m Luna, the true original of the shop and, at 14 years young, I’ve earned my crown as Senior Supervisor. My days are dedicated to life’s finer things: eating, sleeping, and reminding everyone (especially dogs) that I am the boss around here.

Don’t be fooled by my calm exterior — I still have plenty of sass and a sharp eye for keeping everything in order. While Tigger may boast about his so-called “mouse-catching record,” everyone knows who set the standard first.

Tigger — Chief Mouse Catcher (and Resident Charmer)

I’m Tigger, the handsome ginger beast you’ll usually spot stretched out in the comfiest corner of the shop. I’ve proudly held the title of Chief Mouse Catcher since 2016, and let me tell you — not a single mouse has dared show its whiskers since I took charge (don’t listen to Luna if she tries to claim otherwise).

When I’m not on patrol, you’ll catch me “quality testing” the beds (apparently my fur makes that a problem — rude, right?), sneaking the occasional treat, and, of course, turning on the charm with our lovely customers. My specialty? Wrapping myself around shoulders for maximum cuddle impact.
