Meet the Team

Johanna Leigh-Thompson

Director / Owner

Giving someone a safe home to live in and supporting them to live a life they choose was the driving force behind Jo’s decision to set up Foxglove in 2003.  For her, keeping the people we support at the heart of all decision-making is paramount and continues to be her motivation.  

Seeing the company grow, investing in our team and achieving successful outcomes for those in our care remain central to her mission.

Outside of work, Jo enjoys dancing, boxing, walking and spending time with her family and friends.

Kat McFarlane

Her favourite part of the job is seeing the people we support live happy, fulfilling lives doing what they choose to do, while working alongside such a caring and dedicated team.  For Kat, it’s not just a job.  She finds real satisfaction in watching Foxglove go from strength to strength and in seeing the individuals we look after gain the confidence to take a more active role in community life.

Dean Brown

Maintenance Operative

Dean joined Foxglove in October 2021 after a couple of years of “semi-retirement” following six years working for the NHS in the emergency ambulance service.  With a background in construction, he originally trained as an electrician but went on to spend nearly 30 years on building sites, picking up a wide range of skills across different trades.

From kitchens and bathrooms to patios, ponds, gazebos and fencing, there’s not much he hasn’t built or repaired – and that experience proves invaluable in his role here at Foxglove.  Dean enjoys the relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to plan and complete tasks in his own way and the friendly team spirit full of laughs and banter.

Outside of work, he’s rarely without a project on the go, whether that’s gardening, building something new or enjoying a bit of fishing.  While lots of people have told him he could earn more elsewhere, for him it’s about enjoying his work and being part of a place that feels right.

Adetomi has worked for Foxglove since 2023 as a Receptionist/Office Administrator.

From answering the telephone and welcoming visitors to handling purchase orders and booking external training courses, she also works alongside Annemarie on the admin side of the Non-Abusive Physical and Psychological Intervention (NAPPI) training as well as helping to compile the company newsletter.

She enjoys the variety of her role and finds real fulfilment in supporting Foxglove’s day-to-day operations.

Outside of work, Adetomi enjoys time alone, reading, cooking and spending quality time with family.
