Bramble is Head of Wellbeing – and she’s rather good at making us all feel happy when she’s around. She’s also qualified with a Masters in Engineering in 2021 from Oxford University. She is so talented she has decided that she will only come to the office when she fancies it. It is rare to find a colleague that can chew through the toughest of assignments as quickly and efficiently as Bramble.

When Bramble is not at work, she is either asleep, scampering around London parks or found putting on performances in various pub gardens across Putney under the beady gaze of her parents Paddy and Jen.

Good Dog Bramble, keep up the good work.
