Finding out about newts
Working as a web editor for the Canal & River Trust is a great job. We get to write and publish such diverse and fascinating information and it might be a bit of a cliché but no two days are ever the same here. Well – that’s not quite true. Being a web editor does involve plenty of sitting at the same desk in the same office, well out of sight of the nearest canal. So when I was invited out with a group of our ecologists on a great crested newt training day I leapt at the chance.Posted By: Odette Myall

How not to do it
I’d like to think that if you surveyed my friends and family and asked them how they would describe me some of the following may pop up more than once in that list; happy (yep, genuinely most of the time), diplomatic, optimistic, patient and thoughtful. Of course there’d be some others thrown in for good measure too!Posted By: Sarina Young

You learn something new every day...
That old adage of ‘it’s not what you know but who you know’ could never be so true as it is for our customer service team. We don’t purport to know everything about anything but, generally, we know someone who does.Posted By: Sarina Young
