What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

What do you like most about working at Fitwise?
Katie loves seeing the team’s hard work pay off and delegate numbers, abstract submissions, sponsorship, exhibitors and membership numbers rise!
Office talent?

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
During the week Heather likes to spend her spare time at the gym, but prioritises the weekend for friends, finding the latest restaurants and cocktail bars to try out. That or she can be found cuddled up on the couch with her cat Rico.

Favourite place in the world?
Cairns, Australia – having travelled there when she was 18 for a 3 week holiday over Hogmanay, she had the time of her life – she loved it so much that she even went back over Christmas 2023 for her honeymoon!

Aberfeldy – you can’t beat a bit of Scottish scenery!
Favourite TV show?
The Office US. Sophie has shamelessly rewatched the entire series over 10 times and can almost recite every episode word for word!
