Dog Department

(CEO) Cute Executive Officer
Mabel, the Cleaver family's beloved English Bulldog, holds the prestigious title of Cute Executive Officer at the office and she wears it well! As our team mascot and the undeniable star of our Facebook page, Mabel brings charm, snores and smiles wherever she goes. When she's not blissfully snoring away in the office, Mabel's likely on one of her favorite “walkies,” soaking up attention and sunshine, or rolling over to request her signature belly rubs. (Trust us—she’s got it down to an art!)
Her list of hobbies includes playing fetch, getting spoiled with treats and generally making sure she’s the center of everyone’s attention! Her popularity with the team is unmatched and she’s never short on volunteer dog-sitters who are eager to spend time with her. Mabel has mastered the art of turning a simple office day into a feel-good experience for all, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and a happy face.
These days, Mabel’s living her best life in the South West of France, where she enjoys the warm weather, fresh air and perhaps even a little extra French cuisine. Whether she’s lounging under the sun or starring in her latest Facebook post, Mabel reminds us every day why she's the heart and soul of our team.

Chief Cuddle Officer
Elton is our resident Rottweiler/Shar Pei mix with a heart as big as his paws! At 4 years old, he’s a big bundle of love (and just a little bit of a scaredy-cat). Don’t let his sturdy build fool you - He thinks he’s a lap dog and he’ll happily plop himself into your lap for a cuddle.
His specialty? Nose rubs! Nothing gets his tail wagging like a good nose rub. When he’s not seeking out affection, you’ll find him in his natural state: napping. Whether it’s on a soft bed, a sofa, or on your feet under the desk, Elton loves a good snooze to keep his energy up (you know, for more cuddling). He may act tough, but Elton is afraid of, well... everything. A loud noise or a shadow will send him hiding behind you, but that just makes him more loveable. His unique mix of Rottie strength and Shar Pei squishiness brings joy to everyone who meets him.
In the office, he’s more than just a pet - he’s our furry morale booster and the best excuse for taking an opawtunity for a break during the workday.

Chief Paw-sion Officer
At 15 years young, Scooby is a wise and lovable Westie who brings joy, snores and endless patience to the world of pensions! As Chief Paw-sion Officer, Scooby takes his role seriously - especially when it comes to taking things slow and savouring every moment. A 10-minute walk with Scooby? Think again! It’s a 1-hour adventure filled with dedicated sniffing stops, as he has to inspect every single blade of grass and lamp post along the way. Scooby may be senior in years, but he’s still young at heart.
He’s got a boundless spirit and will keep going as long as you let him. In the office, Scooby is the definition of “soppy,” always leaning in for a cuddle, tail wagging and making everyone’s day brighter with his affectionate nature. And yes, he's a champion snorer - you’ll know exactly! He’s not just a colleague; he’s a furry friend, a slow-walk aficionado and an endless source of smiles. He’s the heart of the team, spreading love and a little bit of drool wherever he goes!
Junior Pawperty Manager
Meet Dobby, our sock loving office Mascot - Dobby is a Jack Russel cross who earnt his name due to his very strong affection for socks – if one goes missing, you know who to blame! And, just like Dobby, he has been rescued – giving him a second chance at mischief and cuddles alike.
When he’s not napping in the office corner (his favourite spot), he’s on a mission to find snacks or make his presence known with a cheeky tail wag.
Full of personality, Dobby is a fun-loving, mischievous character who’s always ready for a cuddle or a sneaky snack break. Whether he's snoring softly during meetings or popping up to say hello, he keeps our office just a little more joyful every day.

Furrnancial Advisor
Milo is an adorable, attention-loving Dachshund with a flair for drama and a serious snuggle addiction! Known around the office as the ultimate lap warmer, Milo’s happiest when he’s the centre of attention - preferably under a cosy blanket. True to his Dachshund roots, he's incredibly loyal and just a little bit needy, but in the sweetest way possible.
Unlike most Dachshunds, Milo is refreshingly quiet; he prefers to express himself through puppy-dog eyes rather than barks. Ignore him at your own risk - Milo will let you know (silently, of course) that he's missing some much-deserved cuddles.
Around here, we consider him a morale booster and cuddle specialist. Stop by for a snuggle or find him burrowed under a blanket nearby - either way, he’s ready to brighten your day!

Snuggle Strategist
Ace is a 10-month-old French Bulldog with an infectious personality and boundless energy. Despite his small size, he's a little gremlin, always on the go and never missing an opportunity to turn his surroundings into a playground. One of his favourite pastimes is digging holes, whether it's in the fields on walks or sneaking into the couch cushions — nothing is safe from his determined little paws.
When he’s not digging, Ace loves to snuggle up and cozy up next to anyone who will give him attention, often curling up on laps or resting his head on a pillow like a little squishy loaf. His unique gremlin sounds are something to behold — a mix of playful grunts, and adorable snorts that make you laugh every time. With his wide, bat-like ears and expressive eyes, Ace is as cute as he is mischievous, always keeping those around him on their toes with his antics.
Ace is a highly independent thinker who thrives in chaotic environments. His coworkers (a.k.a. humans) must be prepared for sudden bursts of zoomies, unexpected ambush cuddles, and a daily dose of uncontrollable laughter.

Acquisition Specialist
Jenson (as cute as a) Button is a Fox Red Labrador with boundless energy and a personality as vibrant as his ginger coat. Like his F1 namesake, this speedster thrives on velocity, often turning the house into his personal zoomies racetrack, leaving everyone diving for cover. If there’s one thing Jenson loves more than running, it’s balls - his absolute weakness. If it’s round and can be chased, he’s obsessed. But don’t be fooled by his speed - Jenson is also a stealthy shoe and sock thief. No footwear is safe. Left unattended, it will be swiftly claimed, paraded like a trophy and then traded for a treat!
Then there’s his magical ginger fairy dust! His glorious red fur floats through the air like a whimsical gift. Resistance is futile; if you know Jenson, you’ll be wearing a bit of him everywhere.
Despite his cheeky antics, Jenson is the ultimate lovable rogue - full of charm, energy, and endless affection. Whether dashing at lightning speed, proudly presenting his latest acquisition, or covering you in ginger sparkle, life with Jenson is never dull.
