They sometimes allow me to do real work, of course only once I’ve cleaned the dishes, hoovered and mopped the floor, polished the furniture, made the tea for everyone…

Why Borkowski?
Nowhere else could you come to work each day and guarantee to laugh so hard that you wee a little bit – is that allowed to go on the website?

Life Changing Event:
Watching Sir Ian McKellon in King Lear at the New London theatre – made me realise how emotionally sensitive even the most hard nosed snobs are – a good revelation for sure!

Favourite Songs:
Roxy Music – If There Is Something
David Bowie – Speed of Life
Joy Division – Twenty Four Hours
Neil Young – Southern Man

Why Borkowski?
No one expects me to behave in a certain way.  No one takes offence when I am being myself because everyone can see beyond what is. But the ladies loo….. that’s appalling.

Life Changing Event:
My father dying.  Having a conversation on the blower with JG Ballard

Favourite Website:

Favourite Songs:
Elton john - Tiny Dancer
Terry reid – Stay With Me Baby
Iggy pop – Lust For Life
Pulp – Sorted For Es And Whizz

Why Borkowski?
Fun – working at Borkowski is like travelling - every day is different, you never know what’s round the corner, it’s a life experience rather than a job and it’s a constant growth process, you learn something new every day (and from some of the most talented people in the business). No don’ts.  The most difficult thing is keeping up with the speed at which Borkowski evolves the craft of PR; every day we find ways to maximise new mediums, discover new audiences and new ways of creating new conversations in new ways.

Life Changing Event:
A career in marine biology because there were only six jobs in the country at the time – in the Scotland isles!

Why Borkowski?
There’s no better place to work than Borkowski, clearly, as it’s a mixture of hard work, a drop of fun and some great people mixed in!

Life Changing Event:
Leaving University and the reality of moving in to the real world hitting me – nearly there, kind of…

Ironic – Alanis Morissette
Bamboleo - Gypsy Kings
Wonderful World, Beautiful People – Jimmy Cliff

Why Borkowski?
It’s like nowhere you’ve ever worked - it’s noisy, vibrant, creative and full of personality. The adrenalin and buzz you get from great coverage makes the un-fun bits about PR fun.

Coming face to face with death at the age of 17, in the Indian Ocean, on New Year’s Eve.
