Meet The Team – Scott
Next up in the hot-seat for our Meet the Team series, it’s Scott, our Logistics Team Manager, who has worked in logistics since he was 18. He joined us earlier this year and has settled in nicely during his first few months at Today Team HQ.
We’ve asked him the usual set of questions, so we can find out more about his role, what keeps him motivated and the skills he uses most on a daily basis. It’s not all about work though, as we also aim to learn a bit more about our same day superstars outside of the office.
