Meet the team

Here we have, representing Leeds, the lovely Andrea Childs! (Don’t be fooled – she was born in Essex, but claims she has no white stilettos!) Andrea likes travelling, wine, socialising, wine, Skiing, Hot Wine, good food, wine, LUFC, wine and square bullet points. Her pet hates are kidneys and liver, bad service and Manchester Utd! Andrea’s lifelong dream was to meet TV Dragon Theo Paphitis live and in the flesh, a dream that finally became reality in 2015. Next on the bucket list for Andrea is to meet TV Dragon Theo Paphitis live and in the flesh for a second time.

The Office Manager who relocated to Kingswinford from the Planet Lyn or Wolverhampton! Lyn Kimpton likes reading, walking her dog Ollie the Collie, post it notes and round bullet points (much to the annoyance of the MD). Irritated by colleagues who don’t wash up their own mugs. She enjoys singing, but has a repertoire of one song – Jingle Bells – which she sings all year round, except at Christmas.

Andrea is our one and only Southerner, originating from London, Kent or somewhere down the big smoke! She now has a Wolverhampton twang after 11 years in the Black Country, but still doesn’t know what a COB or a SCOLLOP is! Andrea is the longest serving member of the Klick team, having worked with Andrea Childs in recruitment prior to joining Klick when it is was in its infancy in 2007. Two Andrea’s in one small business, both with similar interests – Wine and Travelling! Andrea is a bit of a superwoman, working and a Mum to three (now you get the wine and travelling bit!).

Thankfully Andrea is a fan of square bullet points (much to the MD’s approval) so her job is safe. Andrea is the person at Klick that will transform your document from pages of text to a stylish, modern, hard hitting proposal with WOW factor.

Here we have representing Wollaston, Mr Lee Smith.  Lee has the honour of holding the longest job title at Klick with his role as Account Manager/Tender Writer/IT Director/General Dogsbody. Lee is also the font of all general knowledge, if Lee doesn’t know it it’s not worth knowing – well according to him anyway. His favourite quote is “every day is a learning day”. Lee enjoys fine dining, cricket and supporting the mighty Wolves. His pet hates are the much mightier West Bromwich Albion and unformatted word documents.

Lee’s long-term relationship with Lead Administrator Neil Peters is quickly approaching its ten year anniversary, and we seen no reason why they still can’t still be going strong for another ten more.

Here we have representing Staffordshire, Mr Neil Peters. Not only does Neil head up the Admin team he also has many roles within Klick from putting up the Christmas decorations to making snack runs to the local shop. However he is most known for his role as company ‘Tea Lady’, in which he excels.

Neil quickly established himself as the company ‘suck-up’ and can regularly be seen at the local greengrocers purchasing an apple to bring in for the Managing Director. His main interests are Lager, beer, wine, spirits, Finger Dancing and watching the Wolves (which I think drives his first 4 interests). He also has an unnatural obsession with Lee as has stalked him from job to job for the last 10 years.

Recruited in March last year, ‘Iain’ Duncan Smith further helped to bring the average age of the Klick office down as the third graduate taken on since September 2015. Often playing two 90 minute football matches each weekend, Duncan’s remarkable pace up and down the left wing leaves him feeling the effects on Monday morning. This is often interpreted as having had a wild weekend by Office Manager Lyn, who likes to keep a stern eye on his drinking habits.

Having studied ‘Modernist Literature: 1890-1939’, ‘American Poetic Writing Since 1930’, ‘Shakespeare: Page Stage Screen’ and ‘The Fin De Siècle: Literature and Culture 1880-1910’ during his time at the University of Liverpool (no, us neither), he has certainly earned the status of ‘most qualified’ member of staff and may even be able to take over from Georgina as Klick’s linguistics expert. However, her geography expertise will remain unchallenged. Duncan’s dream is to see Little Mix live in concert and we certainly hope that one day he is able to achieve this goal.

Since graduating with an English degree from the University of Wolverhampton, Agata had been working at IKEA before joining the team here in Wordsley. We were therefore very worried about the office furniture arrangement ahead of her arrival, but so far no critical feedback has been offered.

Hobbies include live music and travelling, which is perfect for the role as Agata is able to travel to Wordsley every day to listen to the dulcet tones of resident human jukebox Lucie Atterbury live and in person.

Be warned, please do not ever refer to her as ‘Agatha’, unless you are prepared to suffer her wrath. No one in the office has added the dreaded ‘h’ into Agata’s name as of yet, as none of us are quite that brave.

Chloe has recently graduated from the University of Birmingham, where she gained a BA in English with Creative Writing and also an MA in Creative Writing. Chloe is originally from ‘up north’ so has plenty in common with our Managing Director Andrea, however unlike Andrea who is an avid Leeds supporter Chloe supports Manchester United…..Chloe used to live in Hong Kong, has eaten Chicken Feet and is now a vegetarian! We were unsure if all these things were connected, but can confirm that student life and her love for animals moved her towards vegetarianism and not the consumption of chicken feet! (which apparently according to Chloe tasted ‘like chicken but Chewy!’) Chloe brings a Creative edge to her tenders and we are delighted she is part of the team

Born in Rosendale, Ben studied English Literature and Creative Writing at Birmingham University. He hopes to bring more colour and rhythm to Klick with his previous experience in a tech firm, that specialised in the cutting edge of paint production, and as an enthusiastic drummer in his Birmingham-based band.

He’s worked at a variety of pubs and says of his experience: “If you’re prepared to wear glasses like this – prepare to be called Harry Potter!” A comparison, he claims, that he has become immune to over the years.

Having pursued a variety of exciting and eccentric events to stimulate his imagination – one of which involved a well-known grouse tradition – he is always seeking new topics to write about in his free time.Ben enjoys reading and creative writing.He supports Manchester United (much to the irritation of some members of the team).

Adamant that the staff kitchen maintain a regular stock of Yorkshire Tea, he first must get through our huge bag of Typhoo.

Dave Moore, a Wordsley local, is one of the latest to join Klick’s ranks. A literature enthusiast, his hobbies include cluttering his house with an assortment of books and filling them with contemplative post-it notes (that can end up anywhere, even in his pillowcases!)

After completing his degree in English Literature at Worcester University, with a dissertation focusing on ‘existential themes in science fiction’, he felt that he hadn’t quite finished with academia, or perhaps academia hadn’t quite finished with him. Either way, he continued his studies in his own time without the guidance of a constitution. From this endeavor he was eventually asked to host a lecture on Colin Wilson,possibly trumping Duncan and Georgina on the intellectual playing field. He joins Lee and Neil in their support of Wolves FC.

Along with his wisdom and writing prowess, the Klick team are hoping that Dave will also impart some of the knowledge he has gained from his intense experience of brewing cider, in which ‘scrumping in a lightening storm’ was a revered pastime.

Here representing our wonderful admin team is our very own yummy mummy Georgie Bock, when she is not looking after her beautiful little boy, Gie deals with all our existing clients, from sending out new opportunities, to setting up SQ’s and formatting documents. She is normally the voice of Klick and is the first point of contact when you call into the office. Gie brings her bright, bubbly sparkle to Klick and you always know when she is in, particularly Lee who can regularly be seen shaking his head in disbelief at some of the conversations being held at Georgie and Stephs end of the office! Gie has been with Klick for a number of years now so we can safely say she is a Klick Veteran, although for the amount of time she has been with us she has yet to learn where the office kettle is located!

Steph Woodall is normally found at events and expo’s talking to people and developing Klicks business – she loves to talk! Always full of positivity and kind words, Steph enjoys coming into to work mainly so she can get out of the ‘madhouse’ which is inhabited by three adorable children and a dog

Hobbies include taking her dog out for walks, so much so she often returns home alone to let him walk as much and as far away as he likes. She also goes to the gym as much as possible and is the teams ‘go to’ when it comes to healthy snacks and multivitamins,  she is on a one woman mission to keep us all as healthy as she can!
