COFFEE BREAK WITH... Jack Dewhurst - Marketing Manager

Where were you when you accepted your role at Christie & Co? 

In a meeting room at my old company… 

What was your first job? 

My first ever job was working in a café before school – I hated it and still can't eat tuna mayo to this day without getting flashbacks. 

In a couple of sentences, can you tell us a bit about your job at Christie & Co? 

I am the Marketing Manager for the medical sector. I do a range of marketing and event organisation for the dental / pharmacy agents and medical valuers. 

What’s your favourite thing about Christie & Co? 

My two teams – the Marketing and Medical teams. I have really enjoyed my time working here so far, it really all comes down to the people I work with. 

What's a favourite project that you’ve worked on at Christie & Co so far? 

I have loved working on the events, as they are so different. They can sometimes be challenging, having to organise so many moving parts! 

Tell us a bit about your life outside work – what are your hobbies? 

Outside of work, my main hobby is football, both watching and playing it. I support Arsenal (whatever I did in a previous life to deserve this) and love going to their games with friends and family. 

Where’s the best place you’ve been on holiday? 

My favourite place I have ever been on holiday to was Rome. The food, culture and wine were incredible! 

What’s your biggest pet peeve? 

Not necessarily a pet peeve, but I can’t stand nail files! If I were being interrogated and someone has a nail file, everyone’s secrets are being spilt. 

If you could live and work in any city, where would you go? 

I would like to work in a big city in America – maybe I have watched too many films, but it seems like a cool place to work, and I have never been. As I don’t speak any other languages, my choice limits me! 

What would be your desert island meal? 

My starter would be calamari, my main would be steak & chips and a cheese board to top it off. 

What’s your favourite film? 

I have two answers to this question. Hot Fuzz is my most-watched film, but Shawshank Redemption is a classic. 

What is one thing on your bucket list? 

I have always wanted to skydive – I have done the indoor version before, but a proper skydive is on my bucket list. 

What is your biggest fear? 

Nail files and snakes… luckily, I don't encounter either much. 

What news source do you read every day? 

The most trustworthy outlet of all… Twitter. 

What’s your social media platform of choice? 

Twitter – for the pure comedy.
