Kate is one of the calmest people you will ever meet - perhaps because she practises yoga in her spare time!  She also keeps us all up to date with all the latest words and phrases to use, thanks to her teenage children. Even when Kate’s not working, she’s working!  She has helped to mentor young entrepreneurs as part of the Prince’s Trust and also helps children at a local school.

Out of office Katie

Katie loves her play time!  There’s nothing she likes more than putting her feet up and watching the latest episode of  “Balamory” or “Charlie and Lola”. She claims to be “co-viewing” with her young children. Hmmm….  She also loves to travel and most weekends, she’s in some glamorous location like St Tropez, Cape Town, Paris or even Wolverhampton!

  


Yaz at People First

Yaz has an all-round background in IT, finance and accounts within the banking & stockbroking sector. As payroll and accounts manager at People First, his role is crucial to the smooth running of operations at People First.  Yaz isn't just handling the People First payroll, but the payroll of our substantial temp base, which certainly keeps him busy! If you are a People First temp, then in the event that you have a payroll query, rest assured that Yaz will sort it out for you in a jiffy!

Out of office Yaz

Yaz is an outdoors man.  He's a keen cyclist and recently completed the London to Brighton Bike Ride for the tenth year in a row. He also likes bikes that are a little bit faster!  He has a motorbike - a Honda Fireblade - which is his pride and joy.  When he's not in his leathers, you can often find him on the golf course improving his handicap of 13. Unfortunately, in the UK he doesn't get too much opportunity to practise his favourite sports, though – skiing and baseball!

 

 



Dominic at People First
 

“Have you tried switching it off and on again?”
Dominic is not your typical IT manager and doesn’t hide away in a dark room. He makes himself heard – literally! He’s also an `appliance whisperer’ and has the ability to fix any machine, even when it looks as though it’s on its last legs. Dominic can turn his hand to anything practical, but whilst he’s a “Dom of all trades”, he’s also master of IT.  He has kept our systems running smoothly and efficiently for the last 9 years and has helped us to refine our IT and telecoms infrastructure, as we have grown...

Dominic is a good person to have on your side. He has a black belt in karate, so approach with caution!  He’s also very well connected: He’s been to Buckingham Palace a few times now and was recently spotted at the Queen’s garden party. If you’re looking to get yourself on the honours list, Dominic’s your man!
