Axel

Chief Officer of Affection

My Mission when in the office is to ensure all guests or courier delivery drivers are greeted promptly - while getting as much attention as I can. I also spend my day roaming the office looking for any hands that might be on a lap or knee, so I can get more pats and ensure a calm happy team. If there is any food left around, I will eat it, even from a bin. I am excited by the opportunity that I may be able to provide you with lots of affection soon.
