Not only do we love the name of Laura’s business, but we’ve been following her page on Instagram for a while now and love the content she pops out on there. Take a read of the blog she’s written for our #25dayflexup about how she makes ‘working from home’ work for her…

How to get familiar with LinkedIn...
Just where do you start with LinkedIn? LinkedIn is actually a really useful tool when you’re searching for a job, looking for new opportunities and building your own network of professionals with different skills and abilities.
There are some really useful articles you can find from your contacts and there’s also a wealth of groups that you can join on this platform where you can take part in conversations, leave your opinions and also hear what others have to say. ..

Louis Georgiou, Code Computerlove
1. Tell us a little about you? (work, family, location etc)
I’m a husband and father of two young children, aged 10 and 5. We live in Altrincham and I take the Metrolink to work in Manchester City Centre every day. I’m the Managing Director of Code Computerlove, we’re a digital agency with around 100 staff, based in the Northern Quarter.
2. Your fave spot in Manchester?
My favourite area doesn’t exist anymore, well since the Manchester bomb it’s now the Triangle near Selfridges. Back when I was a student it was a flea market called the Corn Exchange (a bit like Affleck’s Palace) and it’s where I collected all my Beatles & 60’s records and imported Japanese video games
3. How would you describe your ideal working week?
I love being in the office, but I know I’m more productive when I’m totally by myself. So my ideal working week has me working from home for a day or two, speeding through a backlog of work I’ve been meaning to get to for a while – it’s very satisfying!
4. Fave Manchester band/song?
Tough question as there’s so many! I’d say The Stone Roses are my favourite Manchester band, but my favourite song by a Manchester band is ‘Hymn from a Village’ by James.
5. Why does flexible working appeal to you?
I’m probably a workaholic, I love what I do and so work is intricately woven into my life. I’ve got a family and 2 young children so I do need to juggle my work and family lives so I need flexibility to be able to do that.
