  • My Coach is fantastic! She's understanding of my workload which has meant I've been behind a few times but we come up with a plan together. She responds to my emails etc really quickly so when I need help I get it as soon as possible which is great

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There used to be, and if there is its not widely known to colleagues. This is something i would like the business to focus on again as it helps with colleague engagement, networking and overall well being which I am very passionate about. Hopefully it will happen in the near future
