Caroline Cope

Managing Director 

Caroline has worked for The Sanderum Centre for over 30 years, starting in the Accounts Department where she excelled at the financial side of business management; in no small part due to her surprising love of a good spreadsheet and all things Excel! 

A natural chameleon, as Managing Director, Caroline believes that what you do has far greater impact than what you say, and in the day-to-day running of The Sanderum Centre, wears many different hats and juggles a myriad of responsibilities, alongside her hard-working and talented team. It was while working for a property-developing partner business of The Sanderum Centre that Caroline discovered her passion and flair for interior design and colourful staging, a skillset she honed to perfection as the interior designer for our third business centre, OX9, involving the total renovation of our grade 2 listed Georgian building in Thame, and most recently, the renovation of Sanderum House – our first business centre in Chinnor. 

Outside of work, Caroline loves socialising with friends and being in the garden. Our Centres are always very grateful to benefit from her green fingers, with seasonal floral displays in the OX9 courtyard, and – most recently – working with a talented local gardener on the design and planting of a brand new Living Wall at Chinnor, which is now the stunning focal point of the building’s external transformation. 

Clair Small

CENTRE MANAGER 

Clair joined us in 2022, in a newly-created position of Client Support Administrator, a role she made her own and which later evolved into Centre Manager at our third site, OX9. 

With superb organisational and customer service-based skills gained over a varied career including financial and administrative positions, and a number of customer-facing roles – notably assistant manager of a local wine bar, and a veterinary referral hospital, Clair’s superb organisational skills and experience and her fun and friendly personality made her the perfect choice for joining our team, where she has excelled in every respect.

As a Thame resident for over 20 years, Clair is a wonderful ambassador of the town, having been involved with numerous local good causes and fund-raising initiatives, which have further developed the forward-thinking skills she brings to her role here with us. Outside of work, Clair enjoys good food and wine and spending time with family and friends, and we’re all absolutely delighted that she’s become such an integral and valued part of the Sanderum Centre team.

Jade Massie

CENTRE MANAGER

Jade is the newest member of the Sanderum team, joining us as Centre Manager, working part-time alongside Clair.

After taking time out to raise her two young sons, Jade joins The Sanderum Centre team ready to return to work and take on a new challenge as Centre Manager. Her strong communication skills, attention to detail, and natural ability to connect with people made her the perfect choice for the role, and we’re delighted to welcome her on board.

Outside of work, Jade is also a published author. She writes psychological thrillers and is signed with Joffe Books, with her debut novel The Baby Group published in July 2025 and more titles on the way.

Jade’s friendly, approachable nature make her a great fit for the team and a fantastic point of contact for our Thame clients. She’s already made a wonderful impression, and we’re thrilled to have her as part of our growing business community.
