A Day in the Life

epending how late
conference calls
ran into the night
before, I’m either
at the gym by 7.30am or
asleep till 9am; I decided
that our office hours should
be 10.30-6.30 last year
which works perfectly for me.
I will have probably
checked my social media at
the gym, so the Tube is my
time to catch-up on things
across LinkedIn and what
has happened in the news
overnight. I will always read
the sports headlines, so I
can pretend I have a clue
when something is no doubt
mentioned by the team in
the office.
Emails, emails, emails –
they never seem to end!
Having mainly US-based
clients, my phone goes crazy
overnight (thank God for do
not disturb mode). I have a
morning catch-up with each
of my heads of department
and then the working day
really seems to start. Various
meetings, conference calls
and brainstorming sessions
about current ongoing
projects around the world or
“We have a very
open plan office here
and the Sonos is always
on, so motivating
myself is never an issue,
although I don’t know
how appreciated
my humming and
singing is.”

discussing a recent site visit
and what we have to do next.
We use a really useful tool
called Monday.com here at
TEN6 and this definitely
keeps me on my toes.
We have a very open plan
office here and the Sonos is
always on, so motivating
myself is never an issue,
although I don’t know how
appreciated my humming
and singing is. I like to spend
at least an hour a day on just
seeing what’s going on in
both the industry and the
world. Whether its reading
industry publications,
checking out the caterer or
similar for new venue
openings or events
happening locally. Some of
the most unique venues we
have worked in have been
found by accident – and long
may that continue.
I’m usually the last to leave
the office if I’m not out with
clients in the evening, but
either way there is always ice
in my freezer and a JD and
Diet Coke to wind down with
and always an episode of a
rubbish TV show that Sky Q
has kindly kept for me.
