Meet the Team
Melissa Sladen
Founder
An ex teacher, Melissa recently decided to turn her passion for home decor/hosting and interior design for something she could - hopefully - turn into a successful business.
She closely follows interior trends, still reads ‘Ideal Home’ in paper magazine form and spends far too much time on Pinterest! Her hope for Tavola is that it creates seamless home decor for the dining room, enabling effortless hosting which is accessible for all.
With a core focus on supporting small businesses and sourcing sustainable items, every choice is make with a conscience - something which was extremely important to our founder.
When Melissa isn’t working, she can mostly be found attempting to throw some weights around the gym or out exploring with her Springer Spaniel - Brodie.
Brodie the Springer Spaniel
Wellbeing Manager
Always on hand to make sure that there is a happy working environment - great for cuddles, getting fresh air, accompanying you anywhere you go and so much more. Brodie likes to feature in as many photos and videos of products as possible - he said it’s good for the content!
