Sir Basil Mumford
Chief Happiness Officer (CHO)

At just 6 months old, Basil has quickly become our most popular team member. As our resident Chief Happiness Officer, Basil takes his responsibilities seriously - welcoming visitors, supervising snack breaks, and ensuring everyone gets their daily dose of smiles.

Freshly graduated from puppy school (with honours, of course!), Basil brings enthusiasm, curiosity, and boundless energy to the office every day. When he's not attending important meetings under desks, you'll find him making new friends, testing squeaky toys, or conducting thorough quality inspections of unattended lunch bags.
