Welcome to Walk in My Shoes!
This month, we relaunched Walk In My Shoes, an initiative set up by our CEO Greg Lawson, to provide each Smartie with the opportunity to spend a day in a different role.
Walk In My Shoes
This month, we reintroduced Walk In My Shoes, an initiative set up by our CEO Greg Lawson, to provide each Smartie with the chance to experience a day in the life of their colleagues in a different department. While this programme was initially established a few years back, the recent acquisition of new companies and the dynamic developments within Smart meant that it has been reignited and reimagined better than before for 2024.
Whether someone has dreamt of working alongside the kitchen team prepping exquisite canapés or desserts, or shadowing the Operations team for a day delivering a major sporting event, or even learning about website design with the marketing team, now they have the chance! The first few sessions have taken place this month, so let’s see what our Smarties have been getting up to outside of their day jobs.
“Thank you so much for letting us participate in WIMS yesterday – it was such a great experience, honestly.
Sarah, you taught us a lot, your team were phenomenal and I can’t wait to have the chance to join you in the kitchen again soon. Please send our thanks to the guys and I really hope the guests at Evolution enjoyed their desserts last night 😊 Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity”
Samantha Holman, Story Events
It was a great day! Thank you so much Alistair for taking the time to talk me through everything you and the team do to prepare for an event and the processes it takes. I always had huge respect for the chefs but the level of detail it takes to get it right, totally amazing. Being both over at Bermondsey and then over at Kensington Palace, it was great to see everything from (almost) start to finish.
Annabel De Souza, Smart Live
Thanks so much for organising this – I had such a great day and learned loads!
Becs Stitt, Smart Live
A jam-packed day! It was so fab, and the Story team looked after me very well and created a fantastic itinerary. Thank you, team Story; for letting me walk in your shoes💗
