You will often find the team doing a quiz or puzzle together over lunch, socialising after work over a drink and/or board game, or participating in our regular social activities. Whether you love bake-off or football, there will be colleagues who love that too.
Friendships endure and former employees keep in touch and often return when there is a promotion to celebrate.
