I\u2019m happy to be here, working close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donna: \u201cI heard that United Welsh was a good place to work, so I thought somewhere that\u2019s part of the group would be good too. It\u2019s close to home so it&#8217;s convenient for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee: \u201cHaving children, you want to treat people as you expect your children to be treated, and I wanted to support young people who might not have had it as good as I have. I have spent a lot of time in manufacturing jobs chasing the pound, and it felt like it was time to give something back to society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alan: \u201cI previously worked as an assessor for NVQ training but I\u2019ve been interested in timber frame construction for a while and heard good things about United Welsh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes you smile at work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Karl: \u201cWe work hard but we have a good bit of fun too. The whole team from top to bottom feels as one team, which is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donna: \u201cThe banter\u2026 All the people here are lovely and I always get a wave from the people in the factory throughout the day. People are happy to be here so it makes you happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee: \u201cMy colleagues. My team in the office are a great bunch to work with and making the team in the factory smile makes me smile too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alan: \u201cBeing able to train and develop the team, getting things right and making the rest of the team smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What superpower would help you in your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Karl: \u201cA super strength potion as some of the tasks take me a bit longer than they used to nowadays!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donna: \u201cI\u2019d make myself invisible so I can hide from Neil from time to time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee: \u201cTime travelling would be good \u2013 I\u2019d go back to the start of Celtic Offsite so I could be with the team from the beginning and bring my experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alan: \u201cI&#8217;d clone myself so there&#8217;s two of me here, we&#8217;re really busy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your biggest strength?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Karl: \u201cI never panic. Irrespective of the problem, I think never panic and it&#8217;ll be much easier to sort it out. Things may seem like the end of the world but stop, breathe, think\u2026 It&#8217;ll be ok.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donna: \u201cOrganising, I&#8217;m good at making sure all the work is done well, when it needs be done. My mum would say I&#8217;m unorganised but I\u2019m not in work!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee: \u201cWithin the industry it&#8217;s my experience and knowledge of timber frame manufacturing and delivery on site. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been passing down in the time that I&#8217;ve been here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alan: \u201cI think my temperament and relatability team &#8211; I understand the development that the team are going through as I&#8217;ve been there myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe Celtic Offsite in one word?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Karl: \u201cOrganised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donna: \u201cFresh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee: \u201cInvigorating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alan: \u201cSupportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related links<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/celtic-offsite\/\">Celtic Offsite<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/blog\/meet-neil-managing-director-of-celtic-offsite\/\">Meet Neil, Managing Director of Celtic Offsite<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedwelsh.com\/blog\/celtic-offsite-recognised-with-quality-and-environmental-accreditations\/\">Celtic Offsite recognised with quality and environmental accreditations<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celtic Offsite is a new social enterprise within the United Welsh Group, manufacturing low carbon timber frame homes from our factory in Caerphilly.
