In The Room With: Jo Hanson
Hi – I’m Jo, Head of Admin, and have worked here for 24 years! I fill my spare time with my kids, grandkids, mother/daughter bonding trips to tattoo parlours, I have a Grand-Snake and love my housework music – My Chemical Romance (would love a date with Gerard Way), Muse, Busted, McFly and Gary Numan being amongst my top listens (preferably at full volume).
I can’t start my day without … Diet Coke - I need that caffeine hit.
My life motto is … you’re a long time dead. Just get away from your phones and get out there and enjoy what is around you.
What makes me laugh is … my grandkids, their innocence is hilarious.
My biggest weakness is … not accepting I’m ill when I am, just hate being ill.
Introvert or extrovert … definitely introvert.
Who inspires you the most and why? … Nobody in particular, I find little bits of inspiration from various people in all walks of life.
A piece of advice I’d give to my younger self is … move out of the southeast as soon as you can, before it becomes too busy and too built up, and before you find yourself in a position where you can’t, there are so many nicer places to live in the UK. I would move to Wales in a heartbeat.
