What's the best thing about working at NIBE?

It's all about quality; quality of product, quality of service, and quality of colleagues and NIBE has all three of these attributes.

What helps you keep motivated?

My 5 year old and how what we do now will impact her in 50 years when she's my age.

BEng in Building Design Engineering

What do you do in your spare time?

I'm a golfer, it's been in the family for generations with my father and brother having the option to turn professional.  Although I'm way off that level it always makes me smile knowing that I'm the only one of them to have appeared on Sky Sports playing golf.

Are you a cat or dog person?

They both make me itch but dogs every day of the week as they don't look at you with disdain like cats do.

What's your favourite TV show or film?

I'm a big fan of film and TV so this is a tough one but I'll go for The Big Bang Theory with Hot Fuzz a very narrow second place. 

What's the best thing about working at NIBE?

Definitely the people! I absolutely love the team I work with, we work hard and the job is fast paced, but the people I work with mean there's never a dull moment, we all keep each other going and there's always something to make you laugh, even if it is Caroline's singing!!

Not a personal achievement but seeing my Daughter graduate with both a first class honour's degree and a first class Masters degree and also watching my big little Brother cross the finish line of the London Marathon in 2022, proudest moments of my whole life, I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry

What do you do in your spare time?

On a weekend I volunteer as a receptionist at our local cancer hospice, Ashgate Hospice.

I also love spending time with my lovely Husband, especially a Monday evening watching Mastermind and trying every week to beat our highest score which is currently 35!

Are you a cat or dog person?

Cats, especially my rather chunky orange one, Oswald, but only because Velociraptor was not an option. Dinosaurs are life!
