Danny Aparicio - El Paparazzi
Every workplace needs a Danny. We imported Danny from Colombia some years ago and, despite losing the receipt, we've decided to keep him. Danny works in our Production team, where he's a genuinely handy bloke to have around and rarely misses an opportunity to have a laugh while he's doing it.
He's also our product photographer. Danny has an excellent eye for photography - composition, lighting, angles, focus. He's got the lot.
Except, technically, all the colours. Yes, our photographer is colour blind.
We prefer to think of it as an interesting recruitment decision.
Away from work, Danny loves motorbikes and fishing. The motorbike gets him away from everyone quickly; the fishing keeps him away for considerably longer. He's apparently caught some magnificent fish over the years, although we've noticed that photographic evidence becomes strangely scarce whenever the fish exceeds a certain size.
Still, Danny's a great bloke, always up for a laugh and never takes himself too seriously - which is fortunate, because neither do we.
