Making work+family work... from our base in Fulham
Ben Black, Director
As the father of twins, Ben knows all about the pressures of balancing work and family life.
Ben began his career working as a City lawyer. In 2000, he and his brother Ollie bought Tinies Childcare, which went on to become the biggest nanny agency in the UK.
In 2005 they founded My Family Care - with the unique proposition of offering clients a complete family friendly employee benefits package.
Ben continues to work with Tinies and is also a non-executive director at AnyJunk, the UK's largest rubbish clearance company.
Three young children and the occasional marathon keep Ben busy in his spare time.
Oliver Black, Director
Ollie is also the proud father of twins and a young daughter. So the brothers are even in the number of children stakes - for now at least.
Ollie began his career at Procter & Gamble as a brand manager. He saw the positive impact that having good childcare made to the people working in the business, but also how difficult it was for parents to arrange good, local childcare.
Convinced that childcare in the UK was about to go through massive change, he built up Tinies along with Ben & friend Amanda. Less involved now with the Tinies branch network, Ollie focuses on our On-Site Childcare service - the setup and management of creches, holiday clubs and nurseries. Living close to our head office, he'll often be in far too early, most likely after an early morning run.
Venetia Leigh, Operations Director
Venetia was part of the original development team behind Emergency Childcare.
She has a background in e-commerce and PR, helping develop one of the UK's best dating sites.
Venetia has seen the company's rapid growth first hand and accepted the Telegraph Trailblazers award with Ben in June 2007.
Venetia now works as our Operations Director, ensuring the service delivered is of the highest standard.
Justin Jeffries, Head of Digital
Justin oversees our digital projects, and our development team in the UK and overseas.
Having been part of My Family Care for over twelve years, Justin has been a key part of development of all digital services and related brands, along with being an ambassador for the changing needs of the brand identity. He is incredibly proud of the journey the company has taken so far, with the aim of helping make work+family really work for thousands of people in the UK, and now globally.
Way back when, Justin worked in children's holiday clubs in the United States, the experience of which came in handy when working on our online holiday club services in the UK. Justin also has a keen interest in photography and design. You'll find Justin listening to podcasts and music in his spare time, and trying to keep up with cinema. And during the winter months he'll be cheering on NFL teams, and watching American football games live when able.
"Don't make me think..." is Justin's favourite usability mantra.
