Excellent gift giving and cake once again.

Today's quick-fire questions are with our one and only Head of Creative, Dan Williams 🧑‍🎨

1) Where are you from?
Chester born and bred. I went away for a few years to Uni to study my degree in Graphic Design, but never managed to properly escape!

2) How long have you worked at Reckless?
Since the start, so around 17 years. I started working with Callum Reckless freelance whilst at Uni, then when I left I started working with him and our MD Mike Griffiths in our first office.

3) Funniest Reckless moment?
There have been far too many over the years, but the people I've worked with have always made me laugh. Sometimes for things that definitely can't be mentioned in a professional capacity 👀

4) What do you enjoy most about your role?
Definitely the variety of projects and following them through from the start, right through to the final product.

5) If you could swap your role with anyone in Reckless for the day, who would it be with and why?
Probably client services as I love people and I'd still need a role where I'm involved with clients.

6) Dog or cat person?
Dogs for sure, I grew up with cats but I don't like them 😂. I have a Portuguese Water Dog called Luna who accompanies me on my daily miles🚶‍♂️

7) Any hobbies?
I still somehow manage to play football (or at least attempt to), and have started coaching football for my eldest daughter's team. I support , I'm a keen DIYer and love a good house renovation... which has led me to being roped into building most things in the office!

8) Fun fact?
I once designed someone's nose for their cosmetic surgery 👃

9) Favourite pizza topping?
I have a pizza oven so I've been through quite a few variations and experiments but my current favourite is nduja, peppers, chilli jam and onion with a bit of rocket on top 🍕

10) Which country would you like to visit?
Ooohhh so many, but probably India. I went as a child so would definitely like to update my memories and experiences of what's in my mind!

Questions for Dan, ask away 👇

We only went and WON Best Health, Beauty and Wellbeing Website of the Year at last night's in London 🥳

3) Funniest Reckless moment? Got to be the first ski trip we all went on together back in 2017, too many highlights to pick just one from that trip! ⛷️

4) What do you enjoy most about your role? I love seeing something I have created being out there for anybody in the world to interact with.

5) If you could swap your role with anyone in Reckless for the day, who would it be with and why? Probably one of our web developers. It would be very interesting to be on the other side of the process, and turn a static design into a fully functioning website.

7) Any hobbies? Can’t go a day without going to the gym and also enjoy boxing 🏋️
