Our other team members…

Published: 21st March 2018 | Author: Kate Howes

So we’ve failed to mention our two smelliest, happiest, hungriest and most unproductive team members on our ‘about us’ page so we thought it was only right to mention them here. They are Emily and Joy, our office doggos!

Emily is Director Gemma’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – she’s a bit of an old dear now and an ex-show dog before finding her home with Gemma back in 2013. She is best know in our office for her immense snoring abilities, her pure passion for Schmackos and basically being Gemma’s little furry shadow. Oh and she’s totally deaf too, so is able to put up with our noise! If you’re ever on the phone to us and hear a lot of barking it’s usually Emily giving Gemma a telling off for leaving her to go and visit a client! It boggles our brains that such a sweet little thing can produce such a noise at times. And if you’ve ever visited our office and not noticed Emily, it’s because when she’s not eating, she tends to be fast asleep most of the time!

Joy is my dog (Kate here; hi!) and our newest canine addition to Horizon HQ. Joy is a 6 year old mutt from Romania, adopted in 2016 from a brilliant charity, Safe Rescue for Dogs. She’s a cheeky but placid little character with a happy nature (hence her name!) and an insatiable appetite. As she’s on a doggy diet, she’s recently taken to stealing poor old Emily’s food. It’s great fun for us trying to stop her from running off with one of Emily’s treats when we’re all on the phone – lots of frantic waving and pointing at her, but alas, she often gets her own way!

We love having dogs in the office, studies have shown that pet friendly workplaces are happier ones thanks to their furry companions and although it can have its challenges at times, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
