You can watch or read Craig’s episode below! 

Q: Introduce yourself!

A: Hi, I’m Craig Dallender. I’m Director and Head of Transaction Services in the Corporate Finance team in the London office.

Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Kreston Reeves?

A: The people, it really is a welcoming and friendly place to work. And it’s important, I think, to want to come to work and socialise with colleagues. 

Q: What does work-life balance mean to you?

A: A lot, it’s massive. Hybrid working has allowed me to spend a lot more time with my daughter and we’re much closer as result of that. But, working from home means you have to be careful not to work late once she’s gone to bed so I always have to be sure to shut the laptop down at some point!

Q: How do you stay updated with industry trends and developments?

A: The best way for us is going out and meeting contacts from banks and private equity firms and hearing it first hand from their experience.

Q: What do you think sets Kreston Reeves apart from other firms in the industry?

A: It’s that they care about the clients first. I think that some other firms probably look at profits before clients.

Q: How do you prioritise tasks and manage your time effectively?

A: I have a really good team that I can trust who do what needs to be done, and take the workload off me when needed!

Q: What is your most used emoji?

A: Laughing emoji. Sometimes, no, often, you need to make sure people know you’re joking!

Q: What was your first job? Did you like it?

A: I was stacking shelves in Waitrose, I did like it. You have never seen a neater isle of biscuits… they’re tricky sometimes!

Q: What was your last Netflix binge?

A: I’m currently reliving my youth and watching the WWE Attitude Era.
