The Jewels in our Crown
Danny Thomas Warehouse Manager 30+ years service

The Jewels in our Crown

A meeting with Mamas & Papas’ co-founder David Scaccheti led to Warehouse Manager, Danny Thomas joining our team 33 years ago. With all that service behind him we were eager to hear about how he’s seen the business evolve over the years…

What have been the most profound changes you’ve noticed in the business over the years you’ve been here?

When I first started I wanted to join a thriving, growing company and from the first moment I spoke to original co-founder David Scaccheti, I realised this was the company I wanted to join. Things are always easier when a company is doing well as a business, so for the first twenty years it was a very good place to work, then the company began to experience some hardships.

Today, however, I can honestly say that the people making the business decisions have made THE most profound difference to the business. There is a real ‘feel good factor’ throughout and that’s testament to the job that’s being done across the company today

How has the Mamas & Papas Head Office changed since your early days?

The way I dress for work probably hasn’t changed much in 33 years. However, back then I had a very dodgy looking moustache, which I assume must be back in fashion, as my son - who also works here - now has one!

How have our best-sellers changed over the years?

Back then the best-selling products were the Caravel, Pliko and Sailor pushchairs. Also 33 years ago our electric toy cars were extremely popular - the Gaucho and Santa Fe train, to name but a few. I’m not sure how the children of today would react to sitting on a Santa Fe train, doing several hundred laps, as opposed to sitting playing on a game console or iPad!?
