When I joined, people were so welcoming, so friendly, and I’ve found the best people here.

I’ve got aspirations, I know where I want to go, and I can have that conversation with my manager to help me to get there and make a plan which is really nice.

The team are 100% the best bit about this role. We work in very demanding situations, but I’m most proud of the team and the functions that we all serve.
