About us

Founded by Jamie Mitchell and Mark Callaby in 2011, Ohh Deer is an independent, fast-growing start-up company selling greeting cards, stationery and gifts.

Greeting Cards remain our main product but over the years we have diversified our offering and now make and sell other stationery and gift items.

We have become firmly established within our industry selling to retailers across the world (including Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Barnes and Noble and Waterstones) as well as via our direct-to-consumer channels.

We’re passionate about what we do and aim to be the leaders in our craft. We source the best artists, suppliers and staff to help us meet these expectations.

We continue to be ambitious and want to grow the business further which this role will play an important part in supporting.

In 2024 we became a Certified B Corp.

Our offices are based on the top floor of The Old Art College in Loughborough Town Centre, the office has some of the best views of the local area!

At Ohh Deer, we are deeply committed to embedding good equality and diversity practices into all of our activities to ensure an inclusive, welcoming and inspiring place to work, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.

Our core values reflect a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. We strive to represent, celebrate and embrace diversity. All staff and partners, including suppliers and artists, have a responsibility to enact Ohh Deer’s values and priorities, eliminating disparities and ensuring equal opportunities regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, language, abilities/disabilities, socioeconomic status, geographic region, or other defining characteristics so that everyone feels welcome and valued.

We encourage and welcome applications from all. We are unbiased when offering interviews, appointments and promotions and look at merit and skill. We recognise that experience can be used in place of formal education. All hiring managers are provided with learning resources to help them avoid unconscious bias and decisions are never made by one individual.

We use structured interviews (where each candidate is asked the same question or set the same task) which allow us to make informed decisions, avoiding unfair bias.
