Bio
Owen Day
Sam is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's passionate and excited about his role which comes through in his work in a clearly authentic way. Sam has revamped the newsletter at the Dyson Institute and see engagement increase. Sam is a wordsmith who excels at painting a picture for the audience which engages and is thought provoking.
Lucy Trowse
"Focused and driven" is how I'd describe Sam. I've been working alongside Sam since he joined The Dyson Institute across multiple communications projects and he's been a key player in the redevelopment of our Intranet, bringing strong ideas and he's always happy to put in the work to try something new. If he doesn't have an answer he's dedicated to finding one and he is always invested and keen to get involved in any manner of project. His ability to recognise and tailor work to multiple stakeholders is second to none and he's incredibly quick to respond to changes. I love the energy he brings to meetings and calls, especially our Friday Morning Meeting. He will be a great asset to any team.
