Hello Celia! What's your job title and what does it entail? My title is Senior Production Manager and I'm responsible for writing print specifications based on very clear and accurate briefs supplied by the creative team (!), providing production estimates, checking artwork, sending artwork to relevant suppliers, checking proofs and seeing the job through to the personalisation/enclosing/mailing or delivery stage in time and on budget...

That sounds serious. When did you start working at Whitewater? Haven't we seen you here before? The first time was April 2004, when I was covering Heather's maternity leave. This time I've started April 2007. I'm very happy to be back.

We're happy you're back too! What have you done aside from these bouts of Whitewater? My first job was a junior reporter for a news agency, then I went to ActionAid and did various jobs within the charity. The last role I had there was printing a lot of ActionAid's materials on a single colour press. After that I was at Burnett Associates for a long time, then Burnett Works, then Whitewater, then off to Cascaid Marketing and then back here.

It sounds exhausting, frankly. What's your motto or philosophy on life?
Do as you would be done by.

How do you spend your time when you're not working? Have you got any other skills we don't know about? Why does my mind always go blank when I'm asked questions like this? My guilty secret is watching The Biography Channel and True Movies, but I'm sure I must do more than this when I'm not at work? Mmm... maybe not. I'm very good at opening jars when the lids are stuck.

At last, someone who can get into the Marmite! Thanks Celia!
