I joined Christie & Co in May 2022.
Where were you when you accepted your role at Christie & Co?
It was a Friday afternoon and I was out for a walk with my sister-in-law. We were chatting about my recent interview and how comfortable I felt during it. Suddenly, my phone rang - it was Mike Hodges calling to give me the good news that I had been accepted for the role at Christie & Co. We were thrilled and my family and I celebrated the exciting news together that weekend.
What was your first job?
My first job was selling encyclopaedias door-to-door. It was my first summer job and I found it quite fun!
