Having put off joining the family firm as long as respectably possible, Zoe joins Clothier Lacey with a BA(Hons) in International Business, and an MA in Events and Conference Management. She has worked in a variety of roles amassing an eclectic mix of experience, from an events manager for the Journal, and a chalet host in Val D’ Isère, to temping for the Probation Service office in Newcastle, and also for an MOT garage in the Meadowell for a family friend.
Reputedly the geek of the office, Zoe likes nothing more than immersing herself in the detailed work required by our engineering and construction clients and can often be heard to say ‘wow that’s very interesting’ much to the amusement and eyebrow raising of her colleagues.
When not in the office, Zoe can be found with her head in a cook book, researching alternative medicine, or dreaming about her next ski trip. Always trying to better herself she can’t resist succumbing to Osborne’s and happy hour on a Friday night.
