We thought it was about time that we gave our customers, friends and followers a look behind the scenes here at Goodprint HQ! Today's blog post will be the first of a series of 'Meet the team' style entries where we'll gradually introduce you to the people that work for Goodprint. Many of you may have spoken to various members of the team over the years, and for you to put a face to the name is important to us! Here's our debut 'Meet the team' post, keep your eyes peeled for future entries!
Name: Ben Goodwin
Age: 21
Position: Management Trainee
6 foot 4, dashing good looks, a rippling six pack and an IQ of 170 is how Ben wanted to describe himself, although the truth may differ slightly. Ben started in July as a Management Trainee after graduating from the University of York with a Bsc (hons) in Accounting, Business Finance and Management. He's no stranger to the company however, having worked in a variety of part-time and summer positions in customer service and production. He's a keen pool and snooker player, representing his University in both and his county (Suffolk) at pool. As exhibited by his lack of a rippling six pack, he's also enthusiastic about good food and enjoys cooking, eating out and growing his own Dorset Naga - the world's hottest chilli plant.
Ben’s job involves four three-month stints with our four senior managers, learning their roles and the roles of their staff. So he’ll be working in accounts, production, advertising and web-development all in his first year of employment. He’s also in charge of our Facebook fan page, which is about to get a completely new look, so keep your eyes peeled!
Next week, you'll be lucky enough to meet the artwork elf herself, Alexa. As our pre-press specialist, she deals with checking your artwork, looking after our tweaking system and answering customer queries, so stay tuned!
Cheers!
