Ann loves structure and organisation and the world tidy and neat. Her motto is “life is better with a dog”. Originally from South Africa, Ann worked as a social worker before coming to Holland. Though charitable, 'Split' is also indulgent for her - a return to doing something for herself. She takes her inspiration from her mum, who always drinks from a cup half full. Ann is rarely ruffled, just don’t hijack her post-it notes or you’ll hear her roar!

Jetty likes the good things in life: family, friends, long walks with her dog, art and emoticons. On her ‘to-do’ list is managing a lazy Saturday and detoxing her brain. Previously a banqueting coordinator, Jetty is incapable of having people over without cooking up a storm to spoil. She loves exotic places and needs to be dragged to her Pilates lessons.
