REBECCA FOLEY
MANAGER, HARTFIELD JEWELLERS
Rebecca is a mother of two daughters and a son, and she works alongside her own mother, Margaret, at Hartfield Jewellers. Her ideal Mother’s Day would involve a long, lazy lunch at Non Solo Pizza with her kids and her mum.

Not only is Anna the co-director of Parnell Gallery, she is also the mother to two primary school aged children. Sometimes finding the balance between working at a job she’s passionate about and spending time with her children can be a challenge, but she loves both of these roles in her life.
“My perfect Mother’s Day would be lunch with my mum, my husband and children in the courtyard at Non Solo Pizza followed by a massage at Forme Spa—heaven!”
