Each month the company nominates someone who has gone above and beyond their day job. The winner of the award is then announced at our monthly FREE Thursday round up and is added to our annual prize draw for free return flights anywhere in Europe!

10. What has been the most challenging part of lockdown and what have you enjoyed the most? (Any new skills, hobbies that you have etc?)
The most challenging thing has been not being about to go to the pub, I am absolutely dying for a pint on a Saturday afternoon with no table service and no face mask!!! I have enjoyed having no plans, hate my schedule being filled up weeks ahead.
