The culture at Six Degrees is one of honesty, integrity and a commitment to the highest levels of customer service.

We are a team of experienced, creative and ambitious consultants who won't stop until we've delivered the results that make a difference to your business. We value long-term partnerships with our clients and with our employees. Many of our clients have been using us for ten years or more, and our staff turnover is far below the industry average. That means that clients get to work with the same people, and don't need to spend time 're-briefing' new team members.

The Rugby World Cup back in 2003 for O2. Just when the England team were at their peak!

At a bakery, when I was 14.

Twitter is the site that I’m on the most, but Perez Hilton is my guilty pleasure! I also like Spotify and Photobox.

Most admired brand:
I really admire O2 – it’s not an easy thing to turn a brand around in the way that they have. Who even remembers BT Cellnet these days?!

Richard Branson, because that would mean I was in Virgin’s Upper Class, ha!
