Today marks Eximia’s 12th birthday! Our team and business are growing (we’re now a team of 12, coincidently), and we’re excited to see what the next year has in store for us and our clients.
We’d like to think we know each other pretty well – we’re a team of talented cooks, fitness fanatics, culture lovers and much more. But in honour of our birthday, everyone was challenged to share one unknown or surprising fact about themselves.
From on-screen stars to undercover thrill-seekers, we discovered some impressive things about our exceptional Eximia team.
Andrew, Motion Designer
Our competition winner
“I once won an all expenses paid holiday to Bali by collecting codes from packs of biscuits. It was worth me eating my body weight in biscuits! I never thought I’d win.”
Sherelle, Technical Content Manager
Our budding chef
“In my twenties, I auditioned for the BBC series MasterChef. I made it to the round before live shows – I don’t think people realise how long the process is. It was the hardest secret to keep – I couldn’t even tell my manager! I definitely called in ‘sick’ once or twice.”
Chrissie, MD and Fellow Chartered Secretary
Our wellness queen
“This year I’ve mastered the art of defying gravity with aerial yoga with multiple backflips – life’s just more fun upside down!”
Robert, Share Plan Consultant
Our on-screen star
“I featured on the original Sky TV fly on the wall documentary Greece Uncovered, filmed in 1997. It was a trailblazer for a whole host of different documentaries about Brits abroad. I appeared on a few other holiday programmes in the 90s too.”
Charlotte, Creative Designer and Animator
Our top-scoring shooter
“I love netball and have been playing for a long time. Last season in my recreational netball league, I scored 280 goals over 13 games.”
Harley, Graphic and Motion Designer
Our track star
“In my prime, I could run a 5k in under 20 minutes. That’s something I’m quite proud of! I’m not sure I could do the same now, but I still love running and I’m part of a run club. It keeps my mental health in check and make me feel energised.”
Sandor, Account Manager and Reward Consultant
Our celeb spotter
“I randomly bumped into the music artist Sean Paul on the street and got a picture with him!”
Martha, Head of Strategic Communications
Our fearless fire spinner
“Back when I was at university, I used to do fire poi. Not your usual student hobby!”
Sarah, Senior Share Plans Consultant & Account Manager
Our baking extraordinaire
“I love baking. In my spare time I get my ‘Bake Off’ hat on and whip up birthday cakes for all my family and friends. It’s how I unwind and flex my creativity. I once had a unicorn cake request that was quite challenging!”
Carl, Creative Lead
Our record holder
“I currently hold my gym’s record for 1000m SkiErg with a time of 3:10, and I can deadlift over 200kg – something I’ve worked hard to achieve.”
Lauren, Reward Consultant and Account Management Lead
Our thrill-seeker
“I once did a sky dive in New Zealand. It was next to the mountain that was used as Mount Doom in Lord of the Rings which I think is quite cool!”
