Heather’s main role at Gregor is to make sure the front office, of both the installation and servicing team, runs smoothly and efficiently, which she is doing incredibly well! 

Unfortunately for us her hidden talent has been kept under wraps for the past 6 months, until she was able to wow us all with her coffee knowledge when we started coming back into the office.

Heather is an expert in all Coffee related aspects – she even has a SCA Foundation in Brewing and Barista accreditation! So for those coming back into the office for the first time, it wasn’t so hard when Heather was there to teach us how to make the perfect cuppa.  

On starting a new role just as CoronaVirus hit the UK, Heather comments,

‘I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to start a new role at Gregor this year.  It hasn’t come without its challenges though.  Three weeks into the job we were all sent to work from home and that wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The whole team were so wonderfully welcoming and patient with me, teaching me all aspects of the business.

And who would have imagined we would use virtual communication so much – Microsoft Teams was a lifeline and has opened up new opportunities for the organisation going forward.

Now we are back in the office, I’m definitely hoping to get a coffee revolution up and running – something has to feed my 5 cup a day habit!”

Outside of her day job as a customer service administrator in our Service team, Kayty Flanders has an exciting hobby that involves making gifts from feathers.

Hailing from a creative family, her Dad is a specialist oil painter and guilder, Kayty has always been artistic and when a neighbour showed her a lovely feather covered mirror she’d received as a gift, she was inspired to make creations and gifts from feathers she collects.

During hunting season, Kayty, who is a gamekeepers girlfriend, spends her time plucking the feathers from the birds that are caught on the Doddington Estate, close to where she lives. Between September and February the house is full of feathers from pheasants, partridge and some woodcock.

Kayty says: “My neighbour really inspired me to start this hobby and I really enjoy it away from the day to day job. It is so busy in the office that when I come home I can spend quiet time on my own, making something for other people, which is really therapeutic and rewarding.”

The local pub supports her venture by showing pieces on the wall, she’s sold a couple so far, but most of her orders are made to order.

She has decorated mirrors and picture frames, made wreaths and small decorations including mini hearts.

“I am happy to give anything a go”, she says. “A mirror or frame takes a couple of hours to make where as a wreath up to a couple of days, but the most rewarding thing is seeing the pleasure on people’s faces when I hand over their gift.”
