Meet the Team

Janet Malcolmson

Director and Co. Owner

As Aristocrats Director and Co. Owner, Janet is the buyer, head stylist and motivator behind the womenswear side of the business. You’ll find Janet in store most days either restyling a customer’s wardrobe or enthusiastically sourcing fresh new brands for the store. Having worked in retail for years, she enjoys passing on her experience and knowledge to the new members of the sales team and is always excited to try out new displays and shop layouts, keeping the store looking fresh and exciting. When not at work, you’ll find Janet either hiking across the countryside or with her personal trainer trying to keep in shape. Something that’s important to keep her looking good in the clothes in her extensive wardrobe!

Lawrence Taylor

Director and Co. Owner

Lawrence is Aristocrat’s Director and Co. Owner and gets involved in all aspects of the business from buying Menswear, working on the shop floor and managing the accounts. Lawrence’s following of many loyal customers who return time after time to enjoy a joke or talk sport whilst buying an outfit is endless. Outside of work Lawrence plays golf, goes to the gym and enjoys skiing.  Although he can often be found sipping a glass of wine locally, socialising with his wife, Debbie, or one of his many friends.

Alison Lepine

Womenswear Manager

Alison started as a stylist in 2007 and very quickly progressed to Womenswear Manager.  She loves the fact that no two days are the same, whether it’s taking the photographs for the website, assisting on buying trips or helping a customer with purchases and making it a memorable experience. Alison is always boosting moral and is often found in the office having a giggle with the rest of the team. Outside of work Alison loves spending time with her husband and sons as well as shopping with her mum on her day off adding to her enviable collection of clothes and accessories.
