Karen Harvey
Owner and Founder of HOOS, inHOOS and Green HOOS
I moved back to Glasgow where I was born, after living in Suffolk for the past 30 years and opened Hoos in July 2016. Hoos is my first venture into retail after a career in the voluntary sector working with Children and Families. I have loved almost every moment of it, working with great Brands and the most amazing team we aim to offer Glasgow an interesting store that is always evolving with new developments and beautiful products. You can buy a nail polish and a settee from Hoos with everything in between!
Favourite Brands: I love them all!
Soundtrack: Funky House Music or Primal Scream.

Scott
About me: I am a Product Design Engineering Graduate and hold great interests in Design, Architecture, Fashion and Fine Art Painting. I have been a Hoos shopper since it’s beginning after discovering brands like Muuto and Normann Copenhagen through my studies. It was a delight to be offered a position at Hoos in 2023, and after a year I am excited to be taking the realm alongside Karen at inHOOS and starting my career in the design world. In my spare time I have a studio for creating my own works of art and enjoy the occasional run throughout Glasgow.
Store: inHOOS
My Roles: Sales, design consultation, administration, visual merchandising, website maintenance and social media management.
Favourite Brands: It’s a tough one, but I think Muuto has the edge for me. I’ve also been loving the work of Six Dots Design recently, check them out!
