Meet the team

A little while ago I introduced myself, admittedly not looking my best in an anti-ageing facemask. However, it's worth noting that there are more members of this staff. Firstly (and you won't see them unless I manage to do some super-secret photography) are Sue, Kayleigh and Lucy.

Sue runs the show. It's her baby. She started out selling beauty products and when the companies she sold for started asking for her customers' opinions, she realised she could make a business out of it. I wouldn't say anything negative about her in case I lost my job, but I also wouldn't say anything negative about her because she's an attentive, thoughtful, and generous boss. She cares about her employees more than she cares about her company. At the same time Sue is also an energetic and inspiring business woman, who can see creative ways around issues. All this adds up to someone who is respected by both her clients and those who work for her.

Kayleigh is Sue's right-hand woman. She effectively keeps the company going by speaking to clients on a day-to-day basis, keeping all of us workers in line, and generally organising everything. Sue may be the head of the company, but Kayleigh is the backbone; without her support the company would most likely flop!

In charge of the money is Lucy. She's a bubbly and funny girl, and keeps us all laughing with her antics. But any time we have a problem with wages, or holiday, or sickness... she's there for all of us, ready to sort it out.

Co-heading the Social Networking Campaign for Clicks Research is Millie (or Milz as she prefers). She's in charge of the Facebook side of things and runs a tight ship. She's also a fantastic singer and is currently building a recording studio in her free time! The entire campaign has been a collaboration between me and her, and I have to admit that she sometimes sees the solutions far quicker than I do!

 Meet some of our intrepid interns! From left to right: Mohammed, in charge of the Arabic countries; Esme, representing China; Vinay, heading up all activities in India; Milz, you've already heard about her. We have others as well, some who come into the office, others who work from their respective countries or from their dorm rooms at University (we have close links with the University of West England who help us get in contact with foreign students for the purposes of translating and marketing in their home-countries).

Here you can see Mohammed and Vinay admiring the chickens! Yes, in our garden out the back of the office we have a pen containing hand-reared chickens. They're tame, produce eggs, and are a constant source of amusement when we let them out to peck away at the grass.

In this image you can see Ollie (in front) and Jess (in the background). They're part of our team who keep the products flowing out of our office and building up the questionnaires that our volunteers fill in. Ollie's looking unusually menacing in this photo. Jess didn't know we caught her on camera.

Finally, this is Jack. He's taking a week's holiday at the moment so he can't see what we write about him here! In all honesty, he's a great fella, as is Ollie. In fact, you'll never meet a nicer bunch of people than when you come into our office here in Somerset. Jack is also a member of the admin team, helping build questionnaires and send products out.

That's the whole office staff introduced. Hopefully you feel more inclined to accept free products off of us now! If you do, please visit http://www.clicksresearch.com/ and sign yourself up for product trials. Remember, all we ask is that you fill in the questionnaires after the trial, and in return you get to keep any remaining product.
