I am looking forward to working with Jemma to help her scale the business, and to take it to the next level,” he added. Jemma, mother to Darcy, 10, Mila, eight, and five-year-old Hudson, was a paediatric nurse until 2019 when she stepped down from her full-time role to take part-time shifts so she and husband Lee could save on rising childcare costs.
