"Joe is incredibly smart, thoughtful, determined, and usually one step ahead of everyone else in the room. Aspirations include working out with Chris Hemsworth."

"Mike is highly effective and unflappable: a Zen Buddhist monk in investors' clothing (Patagonia gilet)."

“Mike is one of those rare people who can inspire, educate and drive a team whilst being a kind, humorous and empathetic leader. He creates an environment that encourages communication and collaboration in a way that makes you want to work hard and show up every day!”

'Molly will always lift team morale and offer a helping hand, whether that be at work, in life in general, or when in need of a Holland & Barrett supplement. She takes on any task with open hands and is an absolute gem for a pub quiz!'
