Colin Loughran - Director
Here at Goldstar we’ve built a strong customer-focused team, our growth rate is very exciting and I can honestly say that I’ve never been happier professionally. I love coming to work every day and I enjoy the team-spirit, the can-do attitude and the belief that we’re building something special. I’m passionate about our Goldstar vision, which is to become the best writing-instrument supplier in Europe in the eyes of our distribution partners. Outside work I relax by taking long walks with my two mini Jack Russell’s, but underneath it all I’m just a pen geek…

Susan Kieran - Operations Manager
I've been part of the Goldstar team since the beginning. I previously worked as a distributor with National Pen giving me 16+ years’ experience in the industry. It gives me great pleasure to be part of a company that has come so far in such a short space of time. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated and hard working group who will always give 110%. The friendly, bubbly atmosphere in the office always makes my day easier. When I'm not in the office, you'll either find me in one of two places; chasing sheep on the farm or sitting in my local pub, sipping on a cold beer! I also have a passion for cooking and even though my colleagues laugh at me, I also like to listen to a bit of country music, yee haa! #SimpleThingsInLife Susan.Kieran@goldstar-europe.com
Chia DuViviers – Sales Manager UK
I so enjoy getting to know my customers, their business successes, obtuse enquiries, family, pets and other enchanting attributes. It is a delight when the fine line blurs and a professional relationship becomes a friendship. Every day brings interesting challenges and lots of magic! I work with an amazingly wonderful team and love seeing them get excited about what we do. Besides being a pen nerd, I love the magic of books, time with my family; two beautiful daughters, one husband, Dante the dog, Gucci the very gloomy cat and a horse called Gabriel…

Rachel Ross -UK Sales Manager Trust, mutual respect and kindness are very important to me and I pride myself on forging strong relationships with both colleagues & customers. I love this industry and am so happy to join the Goldstar adventure and be part of such a dynamic, creative & hard-working team. When I’m not working I like to relax at home with my husband and our gorgeous dog Rosie, indulge in the odd bout of retail therapy and enjoy a cheeky G&T. Rachel.Ross@goldstar-europe.com
Silvia Nustriani-Internal Account manager
I am very happy and proud to be part of this fantastic group. When offered this role in Goldstar, after one year spent in National Pen, I accepted the challenge immediately. This experience will give me the opportunity to progress professionally, because Goldstar is one of the most important suppliers in the field of promotional products. In my spare time I like reading, traveling and spending time with my friends.
Emma Callan - Internal Account Manager
I have worked in the promotional products industry for five years and since coming to Goldstar my passion for the industry has increased even more! It’s a fast-paced environment but we are a very strong knit team, which makes our work so much easier. On my downtime I enjoy travelling when I can, and when at home I love spending time with my four dogs and two goats. I also grow vegetables!
Jason Lynch -Customer Service At the weekends I like to go out with my friends. I love nature and being outdoors, and go fishing quite often. Music is another big thing for me and enjoy going to different clubs and concerts throughout the year. I am grateful to be part of the Goldstar team. The atmosphere is great and everyone on the team is really down to earth.
Caroline Whyte - Customer Servicer
After 2 years working in the promotional products industry I am now enjoying the new challenges that Goldstar offer. I’m motivated, enthusiastic and thrilled to be working in such a multicultural, fast-paced environment. My objective is to become more and more competent and knowledgeable in my new role, with a view to learning and developing my skills within Goldstar. I enjoy travel, camping, hurling and spending time with friends and family.
Tanja Bruckl - Teamleader D-A-CH, UK & IE
What I enjoy most about working at Goldstar is the variety of work I am involved in on a daily basis. It is also a pleasure to come to work every day with the knowledge that your colleagues are the nicest bunch you can ask for and that the atmosphere within the team is brilliant. Outside of work I love catching up with my friends and family and going out for a nice meal every now and then. If I need a quiet moment for myself I love to roll out my exercise mat on the floor and do some yoga to relax. Namaste… tanja.bruckl@goldstar-europe.com
Fiona Culleton: Customer Service Agent I have worked in the promotional industry for a number of years. I am excited to join the Goldstar team & welcome the opportunities that my role as a customer services agent will bring. I love the energy within the team & the positive vibe that’s in the office. I am very motivated and get a great sense of achievement in customer satisfaction. Outside of work, family life keeps me busy. I have 3 daughters & a husband that keep me on my toes.
Kate Scott - Marketing Manager
Originally from Cork, I have enjoyed working in Marketing for at least 12 years across the UK, US and Ireland. I joined Goldstar recently and being new to the industry, have been slowly finding my way around this fun place - at the heart of ‘brand(s) management’! When not busy being a ‘Goldstar’ I like to keep busy with keep fit classes and socialising…then winding down with music and other yoga hippy-type efforts such as mindfulness!
Derick Hudson – Digital Marketer Having previously worked in various marketing positions in blue chip companies such as Bank of Ireland, Batchelors, Boyne Valley Group and as General Manager of Neworld Brand, a new product development, brand strategy and graphic design agency, I am bringing more years of marketing and management experience to Goldstar than I care to remember! My objective is to add creative elements to the current mix that will take Goldstar to even greater heights. Outside the office, I enjoy the odd bottle (not glass!) of wine…but only on Friday nights. I also like writing and publishing contemporary fiction, social media, gardening and falling asleep in front of a blazing open fire…typically on Friday nights after the bottle of wine!

Kieran Reynolds – Graphic Designer My job is to be creative, problem-solve and ‘think outside the box’. When I’m not in ‘Design mode’ I’m a Drum playing, Darts loving, Art doodling, History craving, Motorbike grunting nut.
Edel Sharkey: Samples Coordinator I have recently joined Goldstar as samples coordinator. The role is fast paced and every day is different. The Goldstar team are a great bunch of people to work alongside. In my spare time I like to relax with my family and enjoy socialising with friends. I love to travel and try to squeeze in as many city breaks a year as possible.
Anne Murphy – Credit and Collections My name is Anne – I work for the Goldstar team in Credit and Collections. My job is to help resolve any accounting issues that you may have and to make sure that you pay your invoices on time!:) I enjoy the contact I have with our customers. It is also great working with a very dynamic, innovative and progressive team. Outside of work my passion is travelling, music and dancing and food! As my family say I spend more time in the air than on the ground! A good glass of red wine and a nice meal never goes amiss either! Aasdsads......Mur.phy@pens.com
Susan Carroll - Graphic Designer I’m a creative minded person and love being able to work in a job where I get the opportunity to use this every day within a fun and driven team environment. Outside of work I am most in my element with a whiskey in hand contemplating taking over the world… of ps4, all to the personal theme tune of the Star Wars Death March.
Yvonne - Logistics, Vendor & Purchasing Manager I look after all aspects of shipping, all imports and all exports. It’s a constantly changing environment and it moves fast. Anything that comes in or goes from this particular site, if it moves, I’ve arranged it…. I love home design and decorating, I recently took part in a TV show called ‘Room to Improve’ where we knocked two houses into one. We have a fabulous big house, but I wish I was as keen on cleaning as design…
Richard Durkin: IT Manager Hi, I'm Richard, I'm responsible for all things IT in Goldstar.
Michael Kerley - Stock controller After nearly 4 years working here I can honestly say I still enjoy coming to work every day, working with my colleagues in a happy go-lucky environment. My claim to fame is I once won a scratch card on the lottery, and chuck Norris rang me for advice on stock controlling. My hobbies are drinking a glass of wine, going to the gym and drinking a glass of wine.
Paddy Monahan - Logistics Coordinator My work never gets boring due to the variety of tasks and challenges I have. I believe we are all on the same team and should be working together. My motto is "If you're not part of the Solution, you're part of the Problem". Out of work I spend more time with dogs than people while volunteering for Dundalk Dog Rescue. A dog is the only creature on earth that will love you more than it loves itself.
