​​How long have you been with the business?​
​I started with DIA as an apprentice in 2016 and was made a Director of the company in 2023.​​
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I like helping customers find what they need—and occasionally what they didn’t know they needed. I enjoy chatting with new people every day and staying in touch with customers I’ve known for years. (I love to talk, so sales is perfect!) ​​​​
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I love spending time with friends and family and the "occasional" shopping trip- not forgetting a holiday here and there- I've visited over 15 different countries so far! ​
Tea or coffee?
Tea is the best for dunking.. but if we were to be specific, I would say a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks wins every day!​
Favourite holiday destination?
Crete in Greece is my favourite- I've been going every year for the past 10 years but Vegas would be a high contender.

​Love spending time with my family and have travelled extensively with them. Am always chasing round after the younger kids and extending our home to accommodate their ever-expanding wardrobes. I cycle to keep fit and escape their requests for a moment or two!!​
Tea or coffee?
​Both please. Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. Perfect.​
Favourite holiday destination?
​Norway’s Arctic Circle region where you can see beautiful landscape and wildlife including whales, and sea eagles I enjoyed it so much the last time I visited family there.

When I’m not working, I’m either with family and friends, gaming, or trying to convince myself I need another gadget.​
Tea or coffee?
Coffee is always a winner.​
Favourite holiday destination?
Italy is my go-to holiday destination—great food, great weather, and plenty to explore. You can’t really go wrong with good pasta and a nice view.

Around 1-2 years
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy figuring out tricky problems and finding simple, effective solutions​​​​
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy both playing and watching football, as well as going to gigs. I like staying active and also making time for live music and good nights out with friends​
Tea or coffee?
Coffee, without a doubt. It’s part of the daily routine — whether it’s that first strong cup in the morning or a quick break later on. Big fan of a good latte or flat white, but honestly happy with anything warm and caffeinated!​
Favourite holiday destination?
Mexico or Leysdown — Mexico’s amazing for sunshine, beaches, and great food, but Leysdown’s perfect for a relaxed, classic seaside day closer to home.​
