What was your first job?

My very first role was as an office junior in the accounts department of our local department store where I was born, a small seaside town in Devon.

 If you weren’t in your current profession, what would you be doing?

When I left school, I wanted to follow in my mother’s footsteps and become a nurse in the armed forces, but it was decided for me that I would go to college instead! Now if I wasn’t a team assistant, my purrfect job would be to run a “Cat Café”

I worked as a waitress at a hotel serving Sunday lunch, which is where my detest for horseradish came from!
