Beyond School: interviewing the Base One gang

From left to right: Mark, Dan, Me, Becks and Krupa

Hi, guys.

Today I thought I would try something different to a diary. I have been interviewing some of my co-workers and finding out what they think of Base One and what they think of themselves. Hopefully, it will give you a little flavour as to what it's like to work at Base One. Here's what they had to say.

Dan has been at Base One for two years and is a copywriter within the services team. He has been helping me massively with writing and proofing the blogs I have posted thus far. He says his favourite bit about Base One is: "The great people. You can chat to everyone here - they're not just a clever bunch, they're a fun bunch, too."

Krupa is a search and social media consultant. On my first day I stole her seat because she was away watching Wimbledon - so I can feel like I have already sampled her job! She describes herself as "fiesty, down to earth and smiley." She says her favourite part about working at Base One is the family-like atmosphere.

Bex has been working here for three years and is a search-marketing manager. She claims she is "spontaneous, animated and eclectic". Just in case, like me, you are unaware of the meaning of eclectic, it means "selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas." Her favourite song is Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix) by Ellie Goulding.

Last but not least is Mark. He is a search-marketing consultant, too. He is jovial and, like Dan, he says his favourite bit about Base One is the people. "Everyone is professional about their work, knows how to have fun and is generally very happy." Although he wishes we had "leather chairs! And a chocolate fountain for our fresh fruit!" Although I believe the inclusion of a chocolate fountain would have us all struggling to fit through the door after just a week!

So that is a brief insight into the people I work with. I am pleased to declare that I have met some wonderful and fun co-workers with a good sense of humour. Not only have they kept me working hard throughout the week, they've also kept laughing, too.

Cheers,

Nick
