Logged off: Sam Palmer, Milford Care
Milford Care’s HR manager likes to lead by example and takes as much time out at the weekend as possible. Here’s what she gets up to…
How do you relax at the weekend?
The usual – spending time with family and friends.
How many hours do you work at the weekend on average?
As little as possible. I believe in the importance of maintaining a healthy work/life balance and I think it’s important as the HR manager to set this example to others within the business, but I am always contactable if needed.
What’s your favourite:
– holiday destination? I’ve recently been to Mexico which was beautiful, but I think Italy is still my favourite, particularly the Amalfi coast. My husband and I also regularly visit the North Coast of Cornwall.
– book? I’m a real book worm so picking a favourite is hard! I loved Life after Life by Kate Atkinson which I read recently, and Wuthering Heights is an absolute classic.
– album? The Sea by Corinne Bailey Rae. I adore her voice and the laid back Jazz sound. I’m seeing her in concert in November and I can’t wait.
– food? Chocolate and my husband’s BBQ – he’s the King of the Grill.
– TV programme? The Last Leg, Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory and my guilty pleasure… Dance Mums (but don’t tell anyone!)
– website or app? Notonthehighstreet
How do you usually spend Sunday evenings?
Quite often at the cinema with my hubby.
