Jo also plays a key role in managing our retail team and fostering strong relationships with our vendors, ensuring everyone feels supported and valued.

Right now, she’s soaking up precious family time on maternity leave with her beautiful baby boy and his big sister—but we can’t wait for her to return!

Becc is your go-to gal for all things admin (and everyone’s favourite because she’s the one who pays the sales!). With the bubbliest personality, she’s always up for a chat and brings so much warmth to our team.

As a small business owner herself, Becc knows firsthand what it takes to run a business, which is why she cares so deeply about our vendors. Whether it’s answering questions, keeping things running smoothly, or cheering our vendors on, Becc is always here to help!

Kita has been with us since day one of expanding Lollipop Collective into our very first interstate stores in Melbourne – and she’s been an essential part of our journey ever since!

As both a vendor and small business owner herself, Kita truly understands the ins and outs of what our community needs. She brings that unique perspective into everything she does – from building smarter systems behind the scenes to streamlining operations across all 17 stores.

With a strategic mind and a calm, solutions-focused approach, nothing ever feels too hard for Kita. She’s our go-to problem solver, roster queen, and the driving force behind many of the innovative ideas we’ve implemented across the business. If there’s a challenge, you can trust that Kita is already two steps ahead!
