12 Jan , 2015 Uncategorized

Our first staff member of the week for 2015 is… Victor! We love having him around the place and always see him reading a book, wearing a pair of trouser braces and a flat cap. He may not speak much English, but we managed to conduct our interview with him using the help of a translator and a bit of sign language. So, here he is…
