A warm welcome to..Sophie!

We have a new face on the front desk; Sophie Harris!
We got to know a little more about her:



Picasso: What is your full name?
Sophie: Sophie Rose Harris

P: Where did you grow up?
S: North West London

P: What is your most favourite thing in the world?
S: Family, Friends and Food!

P: What do you love to do in your spare time?
S: Chill out with friends and family, watch the latest drama series and films.

P: What do you love about London?
S: Everything! Shopping, Imax, London Bridge, the multiculturalism. So many places to visit, different film and music events to go to etc.


P: Why do you love animation?
S: Who doesn't love animation? From Disney to Tex Avery, Walter Lantz…I love where you can take animation in terms of creativity and imagination and it will always appeal to all ages.



P: What are you most proud of?
S: Completing my English and Media degree along with a 10,000 word dissertation!

P: Tell us a secret about yourself!
S: A few years ago my brother asked me to buy him a Lurpack Lighter; little did I know at the time that Lurpack is butter… not an actual lighter for his cigarettes which got very confusing and embarrassing when I asked for a Lurpack Lighter at the cigarettes counter… 


P: Tell us a joke
S:  I could tell you a very lame knock knock joke or 'why did the chicken cross the road' but I'm sure you will still be laughing from the previous question.


Sophie can be found in our reception area and on the end of the phone, we very much look forward to making her part of the Picasso family. Welcome Sophie!
