As the saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun,” and that couldn’t be more true for my first year as part of the WRK Digital team. It feels like just yesterday I was starting this journey, and now, a whole year has passed!
How It All Started
When I first began exploring new career opportunities, WRK Digital was at the top of my list. I had been following their journey on LinkedIn and saw all the incredible events they were hosting across the Leeds area. The team always seemed to be having a great time, and I thought to myself, that’s a company I want to work for! So, I reached out—and the rest is history.
Now, as I reflect on the past year, I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful for the experiences, the people, and the opportunities that have come my way. Here are just a few of my favorite moments from the past year:
Top 5 Highlights from My First Year at WRK Digital
Paintballing – Nothing brings a team together like running around and shooting at each other. Definitely an unforgettable bonding experience! 😅
Coffees, Meals Out & Wine Catch-ups – I may have developed a slight chai latte addiction, but discovering new wine spots across Leeds with some amazing people has been worth it. 🍷
Software Engineering Events – Being part of WRK’s growing tech community and meeting so many new faces has been both exciting and inspiring. 🤩
Christmas Party – A night filled with fizz, dancing, and fantastic company—right up my alley! 🥂
Being Given Flowers from WRK – A small but thoughtful gesture that made me feel truly appreciated. 💐
A Huge Thank You!
I want to extend a massive thank you to William Parker, Katie Tipping, and everyone at WRK Digital for making my first year such an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
A special shoutout to James Westwood for the constant support and the incredible opportunities.
I’m so grateful to be part of the Software Engineering & UX team, and I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store! 🥰
Here’s to another year of growth, teamwork, and plenty of chai lattes! ☕
