This month we have Otto from Gilt Edged in Northampton Name: Otto Breed: Cocker spaniel Age: Eight months Time at company: Six months, although FURloughed since March. Hoping to return soon, but he’s not too good at social distancing so might have to ‘work from home’ initially. Job description: Office dog. Provides a greeting service in the mornings with licks and cuddles. Available for accompanying staff on lunchtime walks. Special skills: Specialises in stealing snacks out of handbags, licking up crumbs and jumping in bins to find food. Also good at eating cables under desks. A great team player who lifts morale and is always available for cuddles and sitting on laps. Favourite colour: Grass green, 15-6437 TCX, as he loves going for long walks in the fields sniffing out scents and chasing after butterflies. Although if he were a true company dog he should probably like the Gilt Edged colours of blue C100 M50 Y0 K0 and red C0 M100 Y50 K0! www.giltedged.co.uk The Signature Works The Signature Works in Bangor, Northern Ireland, has designed and printed banners to show support for frontline key workers. imagesmag.uk/ SignatureWorks yournamehere Likedby yourfriend,yourfriend and 20others ViewAll10Comments user_name yourcaptionhere #yourhashtag#yourhashtag#yourhashtag yournamehere 2HOURAGO SEETRANSLATION
