DARREN / CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Darren says: Always listen to other people, decide they are very probably wrong and do what you were going to do in the first place…
that sounds bad doesn’t it?

A few of my favourite things: Cars of the sporting variety. Hawaii, Copenhagen, California. David Bowie, but music in general, especially if there is a synthesiser involved. My treasured copy of Avengers 1 from 1963. Harley my blue Whippet, and of course… family and friends.

Something you may not know: I played tennis from around the age of 10, I played for four different clubs over 30 years, becoming club champion a couple of times, I also played at Yorkshire League level for a while.

CARINA / SENIOR DESIGNER

Carina says: If you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have already come.

A few of my favourite things: I am a self-confessed dog addict (I love them all, I have 4, the latest being a rescue pup), my car is my pride and joy (I work hard for the luxury), I love a horror movie or Netflix series and I have a serious obsession with peanut M&Ms.

Something you may not know: For just over 5 years I spent my weekends working for South Yorkshire Police as a Special Constable, fighting crime on the streets of South Yorkshire. Having worked in the Criminal Investigation Department I received Special Constable of the Year and eventually finished my time at SYP in the dog section.

HARLEY / JUNIOR GRAPHIC BARKIST

Harley Says: I love hanging around with the “cool guys” at the Volta Office, but as I hate travelling in cars, the team rarely gets the pleasure of my company or my creative input (which is apparently why I’m still a junior).

A few of my favourite things: Squirrel Crisps, Squirrel Pie, Squirrel Pizza, you get the idea.

Something you may not know: I once won most handsome boy at a local dog show.
