I actually made the final 4 in the race to be crowned Met Office Outstanding Colleague 2019! No joke.

After a couple of weeks of tough campaigning I managed to brainwash enough people to vote for me. And I thank you all. It’s been an amazing journey 😉😅 T-shirts, mugs, cakes, subliminal yammer posts, stickers, badges, screensavers, water dispensers, celebrity endorsements and even vending machines were used to spread the word.

Errrr, don’t ask if I won:
