How do you spend your week at work?

We asked Rachel to summarise a typical week in her life for us... see what you think....

Monday
Up at 5am on Monday morning and walk the dogs to help with my Killimanjaro training for September.

Attend a sales meeting with a client who’s moved to fab new offices in Ibstock and get my proposal in for a staff ‘Away Day’.

In full swing with my production on a video for BT and then have a liaison call with my Director Brian Becker.

Meeting with Jenni to review our Marcomms plan and then focus on the final edit of our new Virtual Portfolio.

After a quick change, time to relax - dinner with the team to celebrate Gita’s birthday!!


Tuesday
Tuesday morning, client cancelled a meeting down South so I’ve won a whole day back!

Helped package up goodies to support the new Guess sales incentive campaign which will run through all H Samuel stores in the UK, before turning my attention to writing a big Olympic corporate hospitality package for one of our major clients. It’s so close!


Wednesday
On Wednesday, a video proposal is the order of the day. Creative written and all budgeted up! Over to design to add in their magic bits and then over to the client.
Out for meetings with Honda and Insider later on, then helped package up the post-event memories photos for a large incentive and Gala Awards Dinner event which took place a week or so previously in Berlin. They look stunning and I’m sure the clients will be pleased too!


Thursday
Thursday sees me off to Leicester to buy a new pro-Canon camera and all the accoutrements. Accompanied by my Head of Design (Mr Roger Bradshaw) as I really can’t be trusted on my own!!
Catch up on personnel today – filing, checking all records are up-to-date and training requirements.
Meeting with my Exec Assistant for a review of HSSE, ISO9001 and the month ahead. Later on, time to get my head in gear and over to Loughborough for the LATI pub quiz.


Friday
Plenty of sales calls today and then a meeting with a venue in Kegworth to talk AV installation. Later, catch up with a photographer freelance friend of mine and fellow Kilimanjaro trekker! She goes in May and I’m going in September so feel armed with all the inside details on how she’s training and what she’s doing!
Another busy day to end the week … but I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Looking forward to more dog-walking at the week-end with Dalmation Dyson and Lurcher Zoe.
