Meet the People Team
We're a funny bunch but we work hard and have fun at the same time!

Starting with Zest in 2020 as a Customer Service Manager, I’ve now had a fabulous opportunity to join the People Team which is a lot of fun. My passions outside of work are kitchen discos with friends, watching live comedy and holidays. Also, my cat watches me while I’m asleep which is quite weird!

The Culture and Engagement Manager at Zest. I’ve been with the business since 2013. I love golf and was pretty sure I was a dog in my previous life... (I was asked to write this bio about myself, I am no good at that, so my manager is writing it!)

I’ve worked for Zest since 2020 and I've been in recruitment for over 20 years, I started when I was 10! I love to walk and garden but spend more time dodging my boys’ footballs. I love being part of the People team, we eat a lot of cake and have a nice view. The team are ok too!

I've been in the business since October 2021 & the People Assistant since September 2022. I spend a good amount of my spare time playing video games & reading fantasy novels (pretty cool I know). My PC is my one true love & I watch far too many cartoons for an adult.

I've worked at Zest since 2022 and I fear I will never be allowed to leave.... EVER. You can mostly find me in the kitchen, if it's quiet I'm probably not there. I do make a lot of noise and you really can't miss me. I am everyone's best friend, I make banana bread, I LOVE music and I like building things when I'm not at work.

I started working for Zest at the end of 2022 and enjoy cleaning their HQ and Hub alongside Carl. I am very family orientated and spend a lot of time with my nieces and nephews, as well as doing a lot of travelling for Banger Racing. When I’m not working, I love being with my partner Mack and our dog Lola.

I’ve been with Zest since early 2023, Amber and I clean Zest HQ and Zest Hub. Really enjoy the job and the people, love my live music and spending time with my daughters when I can. Do love a good holiday once a year to either Spain or the Greek islands, highly recommend Iceland to visit too.

I’ve been at Zest since 2023 where I’m under Stewart's command making delicious meals for all the lovely people at Zest. I am the sourdough professor. I’m a massive lover of all rap & hip-hop. A massive AFC Bournemouth fan since birth. Outside of work you’ll probably find me playing on my PC or watching One Piece.
