Maxx Team

Last week, we attended a breakfast event where we got to hear Twitter EMEA VP and author Bruce Daisley’s thoughts on modern working environments. Put on by ConnectTalks in a beautiful rooftop communal space, the talk was an intimate gathering of industry professionals from various sectors.

Hello, I’m Jess, and I am very excited to have joined the MAXX team as an intern.

I could not wait to get stuck into this role, having not worked full time since graduating from Falmouth University last July. On my first day the sun was shining, which set the tone for a great first day. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming that it made the daunting prospect of starting a new job disappear.

Hello, I’m Imran, and I’m very pleased to say I’ve just joined MAXX as a Junior Account Manager.

It’s that time of year again! The tree is up, the Christmas Radio Times has been scanned and hopefully by now you’ve been able to purchase a present or two!  

After a very busy 2017, which featured inspirational art hitting the MAXX walls, a number of exciting projects and new clients plus the MAXX team expanding (hopefully not from too much cake!), we are taking a break for the holidays!

Please note that the MAXX offices will be closed from 5pm Friday 22nd December to 8:30am Tuesday 2nd January. However, in an emergency, you can email [email protected] or reach us by phone on 07787 517871

If you haven’t met Dermot yet, let me introduce him. Originally trained as a graphic designer, Dermot is the founder and MD of MAXX and has worked within the design industry for over 40 years.

Dermot, needless to say, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the company (not to mention entertainment!) and is very passionate about everything to do with MAXX and the success and growth of the business.

Having recently reduced his working time to 3 days a week, we wondered what he got up to on the other days?

It’s a difficult challenge – being asked to choose just one piece of art that means something significant in your life.  Especially when many of us could select several pieces just for the past week!  And this piece of art is to be displayed for all to see every day in our place of work – what to choose?

I settled on this:

We have been comfortably settled in our lovely canalside office for over a year now (which seems hardly possible in itself) and despite the fact that we were able to paint the new offices with our own MAXX colours and designs, we still felt the walls were a little bare. We felt there needed to be a little more colour and personality to reflect the creative, vibrant nature of MAXX.

Hello, I’m Holly, the new girl! Once upon a time the thought of being the new girl was an incredibly daunting prospect. However, as soon as I entered the warm, creative atmosphere of the MAXX office (complete with charming old beams and multiple bowls of brightly coloured sweets), all the usual ‘new girl’ worries seem to ebb away.  Having been greeted by each employee with a warm smile and a few friendly words, I was instantly made to feel at home at MAXX and I hope to soon become a valuable member of the team!

I’m Conor, the new Digital Communications Manager at MAXX. Despite this being a bit of an ‘introductory’ blog, I don’t, and never really have felt like the ‘new guy’. And that’s not just because Sam, our new Junior Web Developer, started a mere 24 hours after me!
