What first attracted you to SMG?
One of the things that really caught my eye was the Uni Fund - I thought this looked really interesting and it made me think that this must be a workplace that really cares about its people and really wants them to develop and grow.
What's your favourite thing about SMG so far?
The thing that first attracted me to SMG was the way they look after their staff - and I've seen that in practice since joining. Whenever I've had an issue that needed solving, such as extra equipment to make it easier to work from home, it's been resolved within a matter of days. It's those gestures which makes you really feel valued and looked after.
How would you describe the culture of SMG as a new starter?
The culture is really good, instantly from my first week I got a warm welcome and even had a virtual "Beer O'clock" at the end of my first week to officially welcome me to the team. I also joined just before Christmas and I was included as part of the Christmas party, which made virtual onboarding a lot easier and instantly made me feel like one of the team.
Which SMG value would you say is your favourite and why?
I would have to say "Stay Foolish" because I like finding new ways to do things, and approaching things in a different way, and I think it's important to be able to have that "foolish" element when working.
Describe your role in a nutshell.
I manage Co-op's media estate for the "Impulse" category.
