Our weekly questionnaire with our splendid staff here at Brand Alley HQ. Meet Michael, a fairly new recruit through BA doors, heading up our footwear buying. That’s right ladies; a fella in charge of choosing the fab shoes you can’t get enough of. Read on for how Michael feels about Marmite and what his life motto is. Get ready to be inspired:
1. Tell us about yourself in less than 140 characters: I’m a personable guy who always strives for the best in life by gaining insight from others and thinking ahead but never afraid to take a risk
2. A book you read that changed your life was… The World that Trade Created.
3. What is the last thing you bought? A pair of Timberland boat shoes so I’m ready for the summer!
4. Name three people, dead or alive that you’d invite to a dinner party. Why? Gandhi, Stephen Hawking and Alexander McQueen. I love Gandhi’s philosophy and tenents on life in general, Steve for his predictions on the universe and Mc.Queen to discover what inspired his imaginative designs.
5. What’s your best eat in London? Wahaca at the moment. I love Mexican food!
6. What’s your favourite footwear brand we have on BrandAlley? For women, Ash. For men, Oliver Sweeney.
7. What’s your biggest life achievement to date? Successfully launching and maintaining a new department for a start-up company.
8. Your most ideal place in the world to A) To holiday? B) To live?
A) Thailand for holidays as the food is great and there’s plenty of opportunities for scuba diving, especially down on the islands such as Koh Tao.
B) I love living in London as it always has something to offer for entertainment and is a melting-pot of cultures and history.
9. What is your life motto? Be the change you want to see in the world (it had to be a Gandhi quote).
10. Can you tell us a secret no-one else knows about you? I neither love nor hate Marmite.
