Ayumi has now been with Folio Vault for two years, and was the first person to join the team.
Between packing orders and evaluating new arrivals, she is often refining her latest playlist as the office's resident DJ.
Folio Vault began in Stefano’s loft as a personal project. It has since grown into a specialist business with UK and US offices supported by a dedicated team.
He enjoys his personal book collection with a coffee from his native Italy, and can often be found building yet more bookshelves for the Vault.
Shaun supports Folio Vault with sourcing, valuations, and customer service, and has a strong eye for identifying the best books and collections.
He helps keep stock flowing into the Vault and ensures collectors receive consistent service every time.
Based in our US office, Lily helps keep everything running smoothly, from intake and order processing to supporting our consignment service.
She works closely with the UK team to make sure every order is packed and shipped to our usual standards.
Hilde supports Folio Vault with photography and listing preparation, helping us keep new stock moving smoothly through the Vault.
She is currently studying Publishing at university, and has been a real help with reorganising the books in the Vault so everything is easier to find and manage day to day.
The latest addition to the team, Martina is the youngest member of Folio Vault and supports with photography, listing, and packing.
She is quick to learn and brings a positive, practical attitude to day to day work, helping wherever needed while always handling books with care.
Sandy is the owner of Folio Vault North America and Stefano’s wife. Originally from the United States, she played a key role in setting up our US office in Alabama.
Without her practical work and persistence behind the scenes, the launch would not have happened as smoothly as it did.
We’re hiring a new team member in our US office to support order processing, packing, shipping, and eBay listing preparation.
You’ll work closely with our US office lead, with daily support from our London operation, as we continue growing in North America.
If you’re reliable, organized, and enjoy hands-on work with books, we’d love to hear from you.
This sketch shows the team Stefano began building in 2023, who worked together through the end of 2025, before our expansion to the United States.
