Alice Lacey
Director of Sales and Marketing & Co-Founder
Since co-founding now>press>play over a decade ago, I’ve done everything from scriptwriting to account management to bookkeeping. My role now is to lead our sales and marketing teams and help now>press>play to reach as many children as possible.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we do at now>press>play to make learning fun, exciting and accessible for children all over the world.
Oscar Wood
Director of Product & Co-Founder
Having co-founded the company in 2012, I’m now responsible for the strategy and creation of now>press>play’s product, working with our talented writers, teachers and composers.
For 4 years I co-directed Seenaryo, an arts education charity working in Lebanon and Jordan, and I’m currently completing an MA in Education and International Development.
Tilly Brooke
CEO
I set the vision and strategy for our company, driven by our social mission and the impact we want to make. I love collaborating with our talented team who bring that vision to life every day.
I believe a sense of playfulness and curiosity keeps us young at heart. In the office, you might catch me practicing handstands while waiting for the kettle to boil!
Amy Gargya
Head of Operations
My role involves many activities that impact the various departments within now>press>play implementing the right processes and practices across the organisation. I help keep the wheels turning and I really enjoy working with our fantastic team to produce a worthwhile product that makes a real difference.
Between juggling work and 2 small children, I have found a new love in boxing!
Tim Bamber
Head of Sound
I’m responsible for making the stories in now>press>play come to life through voice, music and sound, working with our awesome team of Voice Actors, Sound Designers and Composers. I’m passionate about listening, and the way stories, music and sound help us to learn and remember things.
In my other life I’m a Composer and Sound Designer for film, theatre, and art projects.
Anna Wheatley
Head of Stories
I have the privilege of both writing scripts for our experiences and working with other writers; collaborating on story ideas and editing their work. I also occasionally act in and direct our recording sessions.
I have always been obsessed with stories and the power they have to inspire and unite humans. In my other life I am a freelance playwright, performer and theatre-maker.
Molly Small
Finance Administrator
I do the finance-related bits and bobs behind the scenes at now>press>play. I’m also an actress and my voice features in several of the Experiences.
I think now>press>play is such a fantastic, imaginative resource for schools and it’s great to be a part of the team.
Tegen Seager-Gibbs
Head of Marketing
I get to engage with teachers through now>press>play’s marketing strategy whether that’s setting up a new initiative, making sure our content reaches new teachers, building our base of blogs, or collecting evidence on our impact. I also keep the website ticking along and an eye on our data and metrics.
Encouraging creativity and everyone having access to opportunities is incredibly important to me which is why I joined now>press>play — and I love the stories.
Jolene Chalk
School Manager
I absolutely love being a School Success Manager at now>press>play. I’m lucky enough to meet amazing people every day and build long standing relationships with all of our schools.
Being a singer, I spend a lot of my spare time at the end of a microphone or dancing to Baby Shark with my beautiful daughter — the latter being my favourite.
Claire James
School Manager
I work with schools that are interested in subscribing to now>press>play, consulting them on the impact the resource has on learning and arranging their trials. I also support our international schools.
When I’m not working I’m usually found pottering in the garden, swimming in rivers, reading or walking my rescue dogs Bruno and Lucy.

Harry Colley
School Manager
As part of the School Success Team, my job is to help our amazing schools get the most out of our fantastic resource! From the very beginning of their journey I’m on-hand to get them up and running and help with any questions they might have during their time with us.
Outside of work I pursue my other passion which is radio. With a different set of headphones, I present a Country Music show where I get to chat to musicians from Nashville and around the world.
