5 minutes on ... our skills for the new year

To find out what makes us all tick, which technology and apps we can’t live without, why we love where we work and which places are our favourite hidden treasures.

This week we asked: What skill do you hope to master in the new year?

"Learning how to become a father."

Ankita Bhargava, Online Marketing Manager, Crab Creative
