Andy Oakes
Name Tom Whiteside
Age

27

Location

Kendal, Cumbria

Previous experience in the industry?

Management at Morrisons, Phones 4U and over 5 years in recruitment.

Favourite food?

Steak and chips, with a Brahma.

Do you have any pets?

No. I once had a cat called Bruno who comes in useful for my ‘stripper name’, Bruno Ullswater.

If you could possess ONE superpower - what would it be and why?

To be bullet-proof, like Jack Bauer. I could then join the CTU.

Who do you look up to and aspire to be? Jack Bauer. Cos’ he’s nails.
Favourite type of holiday?

Hot weather, sand, sea, keeping busy, sight-seeing, relaxing, good food and beer.

What is your worst habit?

Being ‘particular’ i.e.. wanting a fresh mug with each brew, the air-con needs to be on 22 degrees, don’t like unnecessary noises like clicking, sniffing, slurping etc.

What do you consider your most useful trait to others?

In work: being helpful. I like to think people can ask if they need assistance with anything like computers, systems, process, clients, etc. Out of work: being the one that gets everyone together.

If you could choose to be on one reality TV programme which would you choose and why?

None. Not a chance. I’ll be Jack Bauer instead.

What five words best describe you?

Creative, Fun, Diplomatic, Thoughtful, Particular.
