Meet the team: Q&A with Charlie Joy
News
Q: How long have you worked at Sontay?
A: I started at Sontay in early October 2020
Q: What is your job role?
A: I will be working alongside Stacey as the Marketing Assistant.
Q: What attracted you to working in the building controls industry?
A: Building Controls is a completely new industry for me and, coming from a job role where I worked across a range of different clients in a range of different industries, I’ve always relished the opportunity to throw myself in and learn the ins and outs of a new market. With Sontay, I get to focus purely on one.
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting out in the industry?
A: In other words: “what advice would I give to myself?”! I think it’s the same when you’re starting out at any new industry – don’t be afraid to ask questions, and fully immerse yourself in every opportunity you get to learn about it.
Q: Who has been the biggest influence in your career?
A: I’d say my Grandad – he’s a proper inspiration for me. Didn’t come from much, but worked hard his whole life, running a successful construction company. Even now he’s retired he’s always working hard whether it be renovating or fixing things around the house!
Q: What five guests would you invite to a dinner party? Dead or alive…
A: I’d have to go for:
- Kanye West
- Amy Winehouse
- Steve Jobs
- Khufu
- Julius Caeser
Could you imagine….
Q: What is your favourite book?
A: Fingerprints of The Gods by Graham Hancock – all about ancient civilisations and how mainstream history has got it wrong. I’m a proper nerd for ancient Egypt!!
Q: What is your perfect holiday? Sun or Snow?
A: Sun for sure.
