- Favourite part about working at Summit Innovations? The great culture! We work as a team, and it comes naturally here. If you see one of your colleagues struggling with the workload, you just ask if you can help…and vice versa.

Meet Nikki
- If you could pick any actor or actress to play you in a movie about your life, who would it be and why?Honestly, I have no idea.
- When you were 16 what was your favourite TV show? Top of the Pops on a Thursday night watching favourite bands like Tears for Fears, Wham, Duran Duran, UB40. We’d sometimes try and get to the BBC studios after school to see if we could catch a glimpse of the bands arriving, then rush home to have dinner and be ready for when it started at 7.30pm.
- When travel restrictions end, where in the world would you want to visit first and why? Go on our trip that was cancelled in June back to England to see family and friends and meet my new niece for the first time.
