Mandy Risso, Managing Director
When Mandy set up Rivendell Carpets and Flooring, her aim was to provide a professional, quality flooring service to individuals as well as businesses. Her knowledge of the wide range of flooring products available on the market, combined with a real flair for colour and desire to provide a quality service to customers has seen the business thrive.
Why the name “Rivendell”?
“People always ask why Rivendell? I fell in love with Tolkien at the age of 7 and was fascinated by the worlds he created, especially Rivendell, a magical and special place that granted safety to all that entered. So when I set up my own business I wanted to give it a name that would signify what I wanted to provide to both my clients and staff.”

Rob Ware, Sales Manager
Rob brings 37 years of expertise to the team which he has gained in a wide range of roles within flooring retail. His friendly and warm manner with clients combined with great technical and product knowledge means he is a safe pair of hands whether dealing with an individual looking for new carpet for their home or arranging flooring for a landlord or large commercial project.

Natalie Morris, Office Manager
Natalie brings with her a wealth of experience in the Customer Services environment. It's up to Natalie to oversee and manage all of Rivendell's business development and marketing efforts.
An avid organiser, it's no wonder that Natalie has taken it upon herself to raise over £10,000 for different charities in the last three years. In her spare time she practices Reiki and also enjoys hosting spiritual events.
When Natalie first saw the Rivendell branding, she couldn't get enough since purple is her favourite colour!

Vikki Hewlett, Accounts Administrator
Vikki worked at Carpet and Flooring before moving to Rivendell so has considerable administrative and accounting experience in the trade. She provides the crucial support to the rest of the team to keep everything running smoothly and on time and fed with cakes - she makes a mean Milky Bar Cheesecake.
