What do you love most about your job?
I love that I am in a creative environment and that the Directors are as approachable as everyone else. They go out of their way to talk to everyone, to know their names – I find that makes a massive difference to the feel of an organisation. I also love that I am left to get on with my role without being watched over. The guys I work for are fun and friendly and my weeks fly past.
