Antoinette Cole

Antoinette is the first friendly face you will see when you walk through the office. She brings experience from the hospitality and retail sectors to her role as our Receptionist at GS. With a background as a store manager and previous positions as a waitress, barista, and bartender, she has honed her customer service skills and her ability to thrive in dynamic environments.

Seeking a change of pace and an entry point into the corporate world, Antoinette was drawn to the warm and inviting atmosphere at Gilligan Sheppard, which she believes is different from other firms. Embracing the opportunity to dip into a new field, she has really enjoyed training with various computer programs and has found fulfilment in interacting with her awesome colleagues and clients alike.

Driven by her passion for people and her love of learning, Antoinette values the diverse perspectives and knowledge that each individual brings to the table. She loves a new challenge to perfect something and is quick to pick up new skills to deliver exceptional service to clients.

Outside of work, Antoinette is always trying something new or picking up a different hobby. One of her favourites is sewing garments from scratch. She loves the feeling of a challenging project that she can take her time to work on and enjoy the fruits of her labour with something new for my wardrobe. 

You’ll also find her going to concerts, hanging out with friends and trying new restaurants with her partner. As a foodie, it’s a dream of hers to travel the world and experience all different cuisines. She considers herself an “at home espresso artist” (which comes in handy making client coffees), and soon she will have perfected latte art, so stay tuned for beautiful pictures on your coffee! She’s a big cat person and cannot wait to adopt one of her own.
