Clair Howison, Brand Director
I love my role as Technical Assistant at Simon Howie because my job is so varied. I work between the office and the factory and I like that this lets me get to know staff in other departments as well as my own.
I like that I can work part time hours as I have two young children so the flexible working hours gives me a good work/life balance. Working in Technical can be challenging at times, but our team is great so there is always someone to help you out if you need it.
