What’s your favourite thing about what you do?
Bringing people together.
What's the hardest thing about what you do?
Nothing is too hard but things can be a challenge. Thankfully, I love a bit of a challenge.
Do you have any highlights or special memories over 18 years?
The biggest highlight is the people, which is why I sit on the social club, and deliver a lot of fun events within the business. What we do every day for other people is great but being able to bring that back and contribute back to our own people is a bonus.
How would your colleagues describe you in three words?
Get things done.
