The self-appointed Chief Morale Officer, Ghillie’s enthusiasm and determination to succeed has seen him hit career heights others only dream of. A fan of hot desking, he chooses a laissez-faire approach to where he sits and what he does in the office. Outside working hours he can be found in a local park or wood covered in mud, or destroying the latest ‘indestructible’ toy purchased for him at great expense.
