Welcome Chris, Our Newest Amiqus Team Member
Boss Lady
- Meet the team
The newest member of Amiqus team, Chris Molleson, tells us a bit about himself.
We had a chat with this dad of two and avid gamer about why he joined Amiqus, why he left his native Canada to come to these shores and what his favourite thing about living in the UK is.
You're Canadian, why the UK?
Yes, I'm Canadian. Although I usually get American or Irish haha. I'm from a small town that nobody has heard of called Belleville in Ontario. However, I spent my adult life living in Ottawa before moving to the UK.
My wife is from Chester in the NW of England. She moved to Canada for a one year work experience - unfortunately for her she met me! We decided to settle on this side of the pond. Now I don't think I could move back and face another winter!
What's your favourite thing about living in the UK?
My favourite thing about the UK is its history. I love how much history is right on our doorstep, especially in Chester with the Tudor buildings and Roman walls. I take any opportunity to discover the old villages and landmarks throughout the country. It is so different to home - the oldest thing in Canada is probably something I had left in my fridge during my early 20s!
Are you a gamer?
With young kids my gaming currently revolves around the switch. Isaac loves to get up early on the weekends and play Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart, or Sonic.
I've always been a console gamer. I love immersing myself in a fleshed-out universe. That being said, I would have to say my favourite game of all time is Golden Eye for N64. The nostalgia!
Why Amiqus?
I have known Will Hudson for years. We were chatting and he knew I was looking for a new long-term opportunity, so he put me in touch with Alan, Stig and Liz. Throughout the interview process, it became very clear that the values within Amiqus mirrored my own and they are a breath of fresh air within recruitment.
Also, I get to spend my days chatting with the awesome people responsible for bringing us such great video games. How cool is that?
Any NY resolutions?
It's a pretty boring one, but I want to dedicate more time to being active during the week.
