The fourth stop of our Managed Services Roadshow was a long one! It was a 200 mile drive to the South West of England and yes as the title suggests we got to drive past Stonehenge. For those of you who have never been to Stonehenge, but have seen it in films and photos. You may believe that it’s in the middle of a secluded field or even on the top of a hill or mountain? You’d be wrong – it’s right next to the road like a Starbucks drive thru, we couldn’t believe it!
Stonehenge aside, the drive was long but beautiful. It’s such a beautiful part of the country. More importantly, we received an amazing welcome from the team (and more homemade cakes, YES!) We even sneaked in a tour of the entire factory which was really interesting. These two are an amazing team, with similar personalities and matching shoes!
It was a lovely sunny day, which put our northern sites to shame! Kinga and Klaudia got fully involved with our MajorTok and made a couple of very funny videos you can see here. Shall we get to know them a little more?
Let’s find out more about the ladies
Let’s firstly meet Kinga
Kinga is the Senior Account Manager on site. She is pretty tough when she needs to be, but she is also such a great laugh and joined in on all the silliness of the Roadshow.
She came up with some fantastic answers to our ludicrous questions.
- If your life was a TV show, what would it be called? “Chronicles of Chaos” – It’s a mix of unpredictable adventures with a lot of laughter (Sounds about right for a recruiter!)
- What’s something you believed as a kid that turned out to be completely wrong? For a long time, my parents assured me that a stork brought my brother. It wasn’t until later that I found out he was born in a hospital! (Bless you Kinga!)
- If you had to live in a video game world for a month, which one would you choose? Silkroad Online – A fantastic world full of adventures, trade, and battles, plus you can travel through exotic locations. It would be an interesting experience! (You have to live in the 7th century though?)
- If you had to design a new emoji, what would it look like and what would it mean? A “facepalm with a coffee mug” emoji – It’d represent the “I need coffee to fix this” vibe (This needs to be made now!)
- If you could instantly switch careers with anyone in the world, who would it be? An astronaut – Space exploration would be the ultimate adventure! (Sounds fun, but not for me)
- If you had to pick an animal to represent your personality, what would it be? A wolf – Independent, loyal, and always working towards the bigger picture (I get the first two points, but is this wolf an artist?)
- Would you rather always talk in rhymes or only be able to whisper? Talk in rhymes! At least I could have fun with it, even though I’d probably confuse everyone (Yeah, the whisper thing could be a problem)
- If you could have a mythical creature as a pet, which one would you choose? A dragon – Can you imagine having a dragon to fly around on? Plus, they’re pretty cool and can protect you from anything (Yeah, but imagine cleaning up after a dragon!)
- If you could swap brains with any celebrity for a day, who would it be and why? I’d swap with Elon Musk for the day to see what it’s like to think up revolutionary ideas and make them happen (hmmmm too many things to say here)
- What’s the most useless talent you have? I can juggle 3 things, but only for about 5 seconds before everything falls. Not exactly useful… (3 things is too vague Kinga, what we talking – juggling balls? Fruit? Chainsaws?)
Let’s meet Kinga’s bestie
Say hi to Klaudia, she is the sites Account Coordinator. She was brilliant, and had even baked a Szarlotka for the visit – which is a Polish Apple pie (It was unreal – had meringue in it and everything!!)
Klaudia took us for our first ever factory tour, we got PPE’d up and everything. It was great fun! Shall we delve deeper into the mind of Klaudia?
- If you could have any fictional character as a best friend, who would you choose? Definitely Deadpool. I mean, who else could handle my random thoughts and questionable dance moves? (Such a random answer, I can only applaud it)
- Would you rather always have to walk in slow motion or talk super fast? Slow motion, because everything looks cooler in slow-mo, plus I can dramatically narrate my life. “Here I am… taking a step… one… step… at… a… time…” (You’ve just become David Attenborough)
- If you had to make an unusual object a fashion trend, what would you pick? Pineapples. Just imagine a pineapples-and-sunglasses combo! Total tropical chic (Totally tropical!)
- What’s your go-to “fun fact” about yourself? I can finish an entire pizza by myself in 15 minutes. Call it a talent, not a problem (What size pizza are we talking Klaudia?)
- If you could turn any everyday activity into an Olympic sport, what would you dominate at?
Competitive Netflix bingeing. I’d be on the podium with a bag of chips in one hand and a remote in the other (I’d like to challenge you for a place on the podium!) - Would you rather have a pet dinosaur or a pet robot? Dinosaur. Imagine riding a T-Rex to work—way cooler than a robot that occasionally refuses to do basic tasks (Again, I’ll have to raise the point I did to Kinga, imagine cleaning up after a dinosaur – haven’t you seen Jurassic Park?)
- If you could swap places with any historical figure for a day, who would it be? Cleopatra. I’d rock the eyeliner and see if I could get away with speaking in dramatic, royal monologues (Great choice, just chilling in your milk bath living the life!)
- What’s a completely useless skill you wish you had? The ability to talk to plants. I’d be the world’s most enthusiastic gardener (Yeah but imagine if plants are annoying, everywhere you go they’d be gobbing off or winding you up!)
- If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? “SUPERSTAR” because it’s not just a song, it’s a lifestyle (You need to tweet that to Jamelia, I’m sure she’d be touched!)
- If you had to spend a day as an object, what would you be and why? A pillow. Everyone loves a pillow. I’d be a cherished item of relaxation (I do love pillows, you got me there)
- If you had a magic fridge that always refilled with one food, what would it be? Chocolate cake. Always. I could survive just on cake… right? (Diabetes might get you in the end though!)
- If you could have dinner with any three people, alive or dead, who would they be? Albert Einstein (to ask how he thought of stuff), Shakespeare (because his wit is unmatched), and my grandmother (for the best homemade food) (that is a SUPERB answer!)
These two ladies made the day both interesting and hilarious! This Managed Services Roadshow is really a lot of fun.
Remember to jump over to our TikTok page to see Kinga and Klaudia’s acting skills – I must say they are spot on and we’ll be getting them involved more in the future.
Where are we going next, well I can tell you – we’re driving up from Stonehenge towards the West Midlands to meet Aneta and Nav.
