Welcome to the sixth of our Fuzion Friday series, where we put 21 devilishly difficult questions to a team member, giving you an insight that Freud would be proud of.
Next up is the Barry’s Tea & the Wesht loving…..Sarah!
- Tell us something about you that nobody else in the team might know.
That I climbed Kilimanjaro and ironically only got into hiking after that! - What film have you watched more than five times?
There’s a few that come to mind! As Good As It Gets, Good Will Hunting, My Fair Lady and the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. - What work are you most proud of in the past year?
The ‘Belonging’ exhibition with The Hunt Museum comes to mind. The concept of the exhibition and the art itself was all just pretty special to be a part of. Also, I really loved seeing the different layers of coverage coming in… there is nothing quite like that feeling of a plan coming together!
- Dream job?
Is that a trick question? Sure we are all working the dream in Fuzion, no?! Well, If I wasn’t in Fuzion I would love my own eclectic gift and clothing store full of one off pieces, filled with Irish talent… beside it I’d have a coffee shop with very good coffee and excellent cake as well as tasty savoury options, the walls would be covered with Irish art and the space would double up as a venue space at night for pop ups and occasions, not sure if its financially viable mind, but this is dream territory!
- Favourite brand? – Why?
Barry’s Tea – forever synonymous with home and providing comfort. - Favourite Holiday Destination?
In terms of holidays for a bit of heat I’m not loyal, for favourite destinations on repeat probably Galway or Kerry. - Best lesson from your career?
You never know it all, so I believe it’s important to have a growth mindset.
- Eurovision or World Cup?
Eh Neither! But if I have to choose I’d go with Eurovision for the cheese factor. - Who is the joker on the team?
There’s a few! But I’m going to go with Ciaran. - Recommend a podcast.
The Inner Chief – Greg Layton. He does really interesting interviews with people that you don’t normally get an insight to. - Reality shows – Love or Hate?
Don’t love them, but they have their place when you want to just zone out and not have to think too much! - Dinner party with 3 people – dead or alive – who do you invite?
David Attenborough, Judi Dench, and Julie Andrews. If I could have four I’d add in Dolly Parton! - If you could be anywhere in the world – where would you be & what would you do?
Happy in Ireland right now, but always wanted to do a year or two in New York back in the day.
- Who is your role model?
My sister, she always knows the answer and has the ability to make everything look effortless. - What was your first job?
My first summer job was working in the kitchens of Kilkea Castle, which involved a lot of chopping and mashing potatoes for circa 200 people – strong arms that summer! - Death Row meal?
Surf and Turf platter in Michael’s restaurant in Dublin. - Favourite book?
In the last few years the books that come to mind are Where the Crawdads Sing – I’m nervous about the film adaptation, I hope they do it justice! My Favourite Biography in the last few years is Shoe Dog with Phil Knight (the story of Nike) – it was bravely honest and not always flattering which is rare!
- Your a grammar nazi or not?
Grammarly is my friend! - First album you bought or downloaded?
No Doubt. - Work from home – or office?
Both, nothing like being in the office for teasing out ideas you might have, collaboration makes for better results more often than not.
- Most memorable ad slogans – why?
Nike, Just Do It – simple and is a call to action to move.
