New gang member

Carla Fawns joined the team here 6 weeks ago and thought she'd got away with this one but nothing gets past us. Half Chilean it makes sense that Carla is AKA Speedy Gonzales with her swift imaging and scanning skills. Looking after our busy reception desk and imaging department, we set aside 10 minutes for a cheeky Q&A session to find out a little more about our very own hip hop, scratching DJ ...

How would you spend your perfect weekend?

Mexico is definitely a fave ARRIBA!

Vintage, high street or designer?

If I could have my way I would dress like an LA skater kid everyday but as I am a 24 year old woman from Manchester I try and dress a bit more appropriately.

Topshop, Urban Outifitters and H&M are always my first stops. If I could have designer AND vintage I’d have a wardrobe full of the vintage Versace Lady Gaga is rockin at the minute, nothing like a bit of Versace print and gold.

Home is . . . ?

My mums house in Manchester.

Foe. I left facebook 4 month ago and don’t miss it one bit, saying that I have a feeling I will probably cave in and re-join soon enough.
