The Automateam | Issue 1

Hi there ??

We're trying something a bit different for this month's Automata News...

Introducing, 'Automata News: The Automateam'. A version of our newsletter that will focus on the people behind Automata - and what they've been up to - rather than what the company has achieved. We'll be releasing the culture newsletter every other month, in between our regular content.

At Automata , we believe our success stems from the dedication and passion of our talented team and we want to celebrate them ??

We hope you enjoy seeing what we get up to when we're not working!

All the best,

Team Automata ??

New office dog

This is Uuno, the newest furry member of Automata's team. This lovely Pomeranian belongs to our newest Senior Software Engineer, Arseni Leskinen .

Here's Uuno on his first day in the office, where he received belly scratches and treats aplenty. We're thrilled to have him at HQ, and of course his owner too.

Games & karaoke night

Here's the team enjoying our office social the other day. The Experience Team provided board games, beer pong, and karaoke for an evening of team bonding and healthy competition.

What we haven't included is footage of Cole Yancey singing 'Africa' by Toto. You're welcome.

1 minute with...

Here are two of our most recent '1 minute with' videos, with the lovely Alice Tome-Fernandez and Euan Meston , created to share more about the people who make up our team.

Alice Tome-Fernandez, Senior Applications Scientist

Euan Meston, Deployment Manager

Our football team

Automata's answer to Everton FC, EVA-ton FC. Please forgive us for the terrible robot pun. The team meets every Wednesday evening, rain or shine.

From left to right: Alex Newton, Samuel Obosu , Visakan Mathivannan , Drew Duthie , Asif Hussain , Arya Gupta, Florian Guenzel , Sotiris Kakanos, PhD , Caitlin Stanway-Williams , Sinead O'Sullivan , Paul Lavender-Jones and Aman Didwania

Seeing triple?

Don't you hate it when you show up to a party and someone is wearing the same outfit as you? Even worse than that, there are two people wearing the same outfit as you. This nightmare became a reality for Archibald Stuart Galbraith , Joshua J Lea , and Maxim Cooper .

We think they look rather dapper in their Automata merchandise, but perhaps we're biased.

Pub pub pub!

No Automata culture piece would be complete without a picture of the team at a Thursday pub night.

Here's a nice picture of the team enjoying laughs and beers, a classic Thursday evening after a day at the office ??
