Meet the #teamPhoenix - Brett Smith

Here at Phoenix, we are proud of every member of our Team! We are back with our weekly meet the team, to introduce another fantastic member of #teamPhoenix!
 
This week we have Assistant Buyer, Brett Smith to tell us a bit about himself. Read on to learn more ...
 
 
How long have you been at Phoenix for, and what do you enjoy about your job? 
 
I have been at Phoenix for just over Two years, the thing I enjoy the most about my job is wanting to come to work, spend time with my colleagues and have fun whilst being here. Past jobs have made me dread getting up to join in the rat race of life! 
 
 
What did you want to be when you were younger? 
 
Honestly, I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up!!  
 
 
What do you do in your spare time? 
 
I spend a lot of time at home, with the family. We watch a lot of movies, our favourites being 80s & Classic horrors, one of the best being John Carpenters “The Thing”.  Always a fan of a good Zombie flick too!! 
 
 
Share the best piece of advice that anyone has ever given you? 
 
Not advice as such, but H.P Lovecraft once wrote “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown 
Sometimes the only way to beat any fear is to dive in and face it, can be applied to many aspects of life and is worth remembering when trying something new. 
 
 
List three items on your bucket list? 

1 – Drive a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500  

2 – Travel and drive across America (preferably in the above car!) 

3 – Hiking in New Zealand 

 
And finally, what does being part of #teamPhoenix mean to you? 
 
Being part of #TeamPhoenix means to be part of a growing organisation that looks out and prides itself in keeping its employees happy. To be involved in such a great team of people makes you want to wear the logo with pride!
