About Us

"Denzil" The Stag

Found by the side of the A697 after a hit & run incident involving Prince Phillip over the Xmas period of 2005, our adopted stag amazed everyone when he overcame the loss of his entire body to not only return to some form of normality within weeks of surgery, but to reveal a breathtaking singing voice! Keen to have a singing stag's head in our office anyway, we at LNOF couldn't pass up the chance that presented itself - and he's been crooning, encouraging and advising us all ever since.

An inspirational figurehead.

Tell me more about Denzil.

Matt Mavir - Managing Director

Matt is a keen rugby player, no doubt partly due to his Australian birth, and a mean table football adversary. Like the shark in his favourite movie 'Jaws', Mavir is a rare species in the world - someone who attempts to put reputation before earning a fast buck. Unlike the infamous predator, he is not mechanically operated and has never bitten anyone's head off. Mind you, he was rather firm with someone caught trying to pinch his parking spot at Tesco's last week! Matt likes to unwind by curling up in a good carpet every now and again, and, as point of principle, never pays less than £50 for a cab ride home. Stunningly handsome.

Matt has also set up another company in his bid to save the world (well at least that's what he tells us!). It's called Wind Trap and specialises in DIY Home Wind Turbine Kits & Energy Saving Products. Anyway, it's all rather posh...you should have a look...once you've bought a stag/hen weekend from us first, mind you.

Paul Luke - Eastern Europe Location Manager

Trained as a trapeze artist with the South Shields circus as a boy, Gateshead-born Paul is used to giving the punters what they want. Still harbouring ambitions to become the world's first Geordie astronaut, Luke spends his spare time working undercover for the CIA and pulling the bingo balls at a local prison. He often regales his colleagues with many anecdotes from an action-packed life of decadence, glamour and sophistication. He likes pickled onions & Sunderland AFC, and he likes jumping out of upstairs windows. Obscenely good-looking.

Garry Hodgson - Sales Manager

To the few that don't know him, pocket dynamo Garry is literally a hooker with a heart of gold. Aside from his passion for rugby and love of all-day sessions, what this former pub landlord lacks in height, he more than makes up for in personality and panache. Also, being a natural born organiser and outstanding after-dinner speaker, GH is to the town of Alnwick what Sinatra was to Vegas. The kind of man who should have a statue made after him when he eventually pegs it, though his penchant for getting naked when drunk might split any town council vote on the issue. Unbelievably gorgeous.

Steve Telford - UK Location Manager

Champagne Stevey, a former drummer for both The Krankies and Luciano Pavarotti, recently moved back to Northumberland to contemplate the stag & hen industry, something he badly missed during endless months of touring and sleeping with groupies. Known for falling asleep on the throne and ordering expensive vodka, ladies' man Steve was left disappointed recently when comparitive unknown Daniel Craig became the new James Bond, a role he would still like to play eventually - Look out for Steve’s forthcoming appearance as Faceman in the panto spectacular ‘Mr T meets Aladdin’ at Sunderland Empire. Outrageously Charming.

Sean Palmer - Sales Team Member

Born in a department store window during a particularly hectic January sale just outside Johannesburg, smooth Sean has a diverse array of previous careers which combine beautifully to make him hot property in the stag & hen game. He's been a male model, a police sniffer dog handler, a rodeo clown and a bag man for the Bournemouth Mafia, but says that it's his move to Last Night of Freedom which has allowed him to truly express his charm like never before. Sean brings a touch of international class to the offices, and counts everyone from Snoop Dogg to Ken Dodd amongst his numerous celebrity friends. Enviably beautiful.

Cheryl Hooper - Sales Team Member

Meet Cheryl Hooper, our new fast-talking sales machine and part-time Broadway dancer. One of 18 children, Cheryl is a natural stage performer, having secured her first dancing role at the tender age of 3 in a live musical version of the BBC programme "Rogue Traders", though she manages to juggle a busy performance schedule with her day job as stag & hen organiser, whilst still leaving time to look after her son Joe – who also doubles up as her manager and agent. Cheryl's secret ambition is to dance with Bruce Forsyth on "Strictly" and has already picked out a gold-sequinned outfit specially. We just hope that Brucie & Co don’t steal her away forever as her talents for tailoring hen nights are every bit as breathtaking. A complete knockout.

Adam Cutts - Sales Team Member

Another member of LNOF's egg-chasing brotherhood, Adam's love of rugby is only matched by his love of pigeons, so when he isn't tailoring rip-roaring stag or hen packages he is likely to be found either in a scrum or by his award-winning, customised coop. Adam once had the hiccups non-stop for over 2 years, something he only got rid of when Newcastle striker Andy Carroll obligingly punched him during a messy Tyneside Saturday night. Firmly ensconced in the bosom of the sales office, our MC Hammer-obsessed colleague lists Tunnocks Teacakes, Barbara Streisand and storage jars amongst his many passions. Too legit to quit.

Amy Pilkington - Sales Team Member

Wannabe-Welsh girl Amy has a record 14 Magaluf Summers behind her as a holiday rep, so if you ever feel compelled to get into a filth-off with her when it comes to mucky stories... don't, you'll lose. Famed for creating Bedlington's finest omelette, former mime student Amy knows an array of magic tricks that will keep any party entertained, and her range of impressions - whether Max Boyce, Ruth Madoc or Charlotte Church – regularly leaves her colleagues doing a double-take to see if the subject has entered the room, so life-like are they. Amy's ambition is to become a vampire, largely because, we imagine, the hours mirror those of a rep. Sensationally seductive.

Kevin O'Connor - Accounts Assistant

Dashing Accountant and part-time stuntman, Kevin is the latest addition to the LNOF family, bringing with him a fascinating blend of experience and desire with a million ropey stories to boot. A resident of Morpeth, Magpie Kevin spends most of his spare time either renovating houses or Morris dancing, two passions he discovered a panache for after being forced to call a halt to his stunt career in the 1990s when a pair of overly tight cycling shorts (mirroring those worn by Spender lead Jimmy Nail) did him some irreparable damage whilst filming a chase sequence through Jesmond Dene. A friendly father figure to us all, we hope to be able to £count£ on him for many a moon yet. Northumberland's answer to Harrison Ford.

Andy Hindmarch – Head of Software and Development

Barcelona-fan Andy comes to us with a CV that boasts Captain Nemo, Ian McCaskill and Terence Trent D'Arby as his last three employers. A talented ventriloquist by trade, our Andy has quickly set about the stag & hen industry with the same dynamism and hard work that he displayed when starting up a nationwide Nude Mountain Bike Courier service back in 1996. His sparklingly impeccable web awareness and innovative approach is particularly impressive when you consider the advanced form of Tourette's that Andy has suffered from since trapping a finger in a car door when just a pup. Too cool for words.

Chris Dean - Web Developer

Say a big hello to Web Developer, model aeroplane enthusiast, Doris Day-nut and all round good egg Chris Dean. Hailing from Rustenberg in South Africa (yes, we’ve now got two of them so God help us when the next Rugby World Cup comes around), rumour has it that infant Chris was found in a Moses basket on the local Spraeky by F W De Clerk during a game of pooh-sticks. When he moved to the UK, Chris set himself two ambitions – get the autograph of every member of the cast of Coronation Street and join the greatest stag & hen company on the planet... He is now only a Gail Platt away from total success. Unassumingly brilliant.

Will Johnson - Project Manager

Founder of the Leather Jacket Appreciation Society (Morpeth Branch), Will joined the LNOF family on his year out from Manchester Met, having accidentally stumbled into our offices one day whilst out walking without his favourite comedy glasses on. Displaying a commendable voracity for customer service and sales, "Big Johnson" quickly set about making his own indelible mark on the stag & hen industry, picking up both the "Most Stubborn Person" and "Least Affected by Guinness Marketing" Awards in his first year.

With his studies over, Earth's biggest Supersuckers fan is now the company's Marketing & Communications Officer, proving that Last Night of Freedom really do have (cough) the best Will in the world... Every mother's dream son-in-law.

Major Green - Warehouse Operative

Normally in these profiles we throw in a bit of absurd nonsense about the individual's employment history, but when we tell you that Major initially started life in the LNOF warehouse whilst still employed as the town's local grave-digger, for once we aren't making it up. It takes a special kind of character to excel in these twin roles, and our lithe, long-haired CD burner is the very chap. Now firmly part of the LNOF family, Hackney-born Major is the man responsible for packaging up those all-important novelty or fancy-dress shop orders, and as such has recently gained a place in the Guinness Book of Records for having handled more penis-shaped objects than anyone alive. Shockingly Butch.
