Jane is the boss of upstairs / mail order / office and graphics monkey. She also has the very difficult job of keeping the unruly boys in the office in check. Heroine. You should check out her albums of the decade, highly recommended.

Jane. Jane has a magical and wonderous presence. Beautiful creatures of the woodland surround her at all times. Tiny birds in her hair, tweeting quotes that Jane then types onto Twitter. Red squirrels, smiling badgers and handsome foxes parade around the mailorder room making her fruit tea.

Everytime I receive a CD from Banquet in the post. I grasp the lovely jiffy in my hands. With the shiny Banquet logo on the front. I start to peel the self adhesive. A magical starry trail then floats out and I am able to fly for 18 seconds. Its amazing. Not only does she provide me with the music I adore but also the power of flight.
This is a rare talent.

Jane is THE most organised person I have ever met. She knows exactly whats going on 100% of the time and has great taste in everything. She is a pleasure to know.

Thank you Jane

Must. Stop. Watching. Darts

A postage powerhouse, a monster of mail order, a deity of distribution. It is estimated that more than 65% of the jiffy bags produced in the UK in 2009 were stuffed by her fair hands. Legend has it that she once packaged and mailed out in excess of 50,000 7"s in a single morning. She quite literally processes credit card payments in her sleep.

Having honed her craft over many years Jane can confidently claim to be an international leader in the field - she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Mail Order in 2008 and was made Emeritus Professor of Packaging and Stamps at the University of Cardiff. Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and Sven Goran Eriksson are known to be fans of her work, Obama in particular citing her dedication and efficiency as a shining example to the community of nations in the 21st century.

Never have so many music fans in so many disparate parts of the British Isles (and beyond) owed so much to one individual. Jane, we salute you.
