60 SECOND INTERVIEW

CAROLINE PORTER

OFFICE MANAGER

What do you like best about working at Whites Financial Management?

I like that we are always busy and there's never a dull moment!  The last eight years have flown by!

Will you be going on holiday this year?

This summer my daughter and I spent a week in the Elaphiti Islands in Croatia on a multi sport activity holiday which we both enjoyed.  Croatia is a stunning place to visit and I would definitely return.  Next April we are off to Florida so that my daughter can complete in the All Star Worlds cheer leading competition.   

Favourite film?

We (as a family) watched all the Avengers films and Harry Potter films.  My favourite Avengers film is Thor Ragnarok which is hilarious.

First record bought?

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (are made of this) 

Last music downloaded?

I don't listen to a lot of music - only the radio in the car!

First job?

I had a Saturday job in a shop which sold everything including sweeties in jars, and I usually had to serve the entire Musselburgh Windsor boys' football team a quarter of cola cubes on a Saturday morning before they got on the bus! 

A great night out is?

A good meal, some wine and then live music or a comedy show. 

Unfulfilled ambition?

Would have loved to have been a midwife or a singer 

Favourite place abroad?

New Zealand - spent just over 2 weeks travelling all over from the North Island to the South Island.  

Favourite place in the UK?

A beach in Achmelvich, Lochinver - gorgeous white sand and beautiful sunsets.

Biggest extravagance?

Probably the holiday to New Zealand!

Favourite restaurant?

I shared a large seafood platter with freshly caught crayfish after whale watching in Kaikoura, New Zealand.  It was one of the best meals I have ever had and still talk about it 12 years later!   

My daughter's favourite is Wagamamas so I tend to get dragged there a lot!

Biggest regret?

Probably not travelling more when I was younger.

First place visited abroad?

Genoa, Nebraska - went with the church when I was 15 for three weeks.

Favourite actor?

Chris Hemsworth (Thor)

Favourite TV show?

Grey's Anatomy, 24 hours in A&E, Masterchef, The Walking Dead and The Voice
