MEET THE NEW PHOTOGRAPHER

Q. Hi Richard. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am the 6'6 tall ginger Photography Manager, and I have an addiction to Haribo. I've got a massive range of photographic experience from my previous work, from Portrait Photography to Forensic Photography!

Q. What would you consider your main strengths?

I'm happy to get stuck in and never do anything by half standards. I'm also easy to spot in a crowd - useful in busy pubs.

Q. Can you give us one fact about yourself that nobody will know?

Well that’s not fair since I think I told you everything interesting when speed dating! I'm a Monkey Hanger ...Originally from Hartlepool.

Q. Hi Bulldog. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am 1 and a half years old and my master is Production Coordinator Luke Evans. I have a union jack tattoo and I also have a coin slot etched into my back which many people initially mistake for a spine. It is not, I am made of porcelain.

Q. What would you consider your main strengths?

I would consider my financial handling to be my main strength. As a full-time mascot that moonlights as a bookmaker, I think it is important to be able to handle money correctly.

Q. Can you give us one fact about yourself that nobody will know?

I was cast as the bulldog ornament that M gives to Bond in Skyfall.

Alongside Richard, we have a profile of the

office mascot who also moonlights as a bookmaker.

The Betting Bulldog, originally a prize handed out to

Luke back in 2012 for the Employee of the Month

silver award, has become a symbol of the studios.

Every Friday before the weekend’s football, selections are made from studio personnel on what fixtures/outcomes they see fit and all are added together to form an accumulator.

We are yet to win, and the Bulldog is making quite the profit from our lack of football knowledge, but it’s a great way to fuel the discussion and banter between everybody involved.

We welcome Richard Williams to the team with open arms and tell him to prepare for the wonderful journey he is about to embark on!

Richard will be responsible for all of the product photography and will be spending the majority of his time in studio 3.
