George Brown
Chief Mess Maker
Georgie brings endless curiosity, big ideas, and even bigger smiles to the Brown & Co. crew. Whether he’s rearranging throw pillows, testing out the comfiness of sofas, or supervising snack breaks, Georgie keeps the team grounded in what really matters—joy, imagination, and a little bit of mischief. He’s especially passionate about dinosaurs, dirt piles, and choosing the perfect paint colour (usually green). Future foreman? Maybe. For now, he’s our daily dose of fun and inspiration. We could not be more proud.
