Q: Do you mind working with so many women?
A: Not at all, actually some of my best friends are women. My mother was a woman too. The HM team are a great bunch of level headed team players and are all very easy to get along with. So its a lot like working with a bunch of blokes really, only less crass.
Q: As a man, what is it like working in lingerie?
A: Well I never wear it at work. Seriously, its odd really, when you're hanging with the other fathers at the school gate and Bruce the builder asks what you do, it can feel a tad emasculating to admit you work in women's underwear. But then some men think I have it totally sorted being surrounded by sexy lingerie all day long. But its not really like that. Not really. Some men can be so immature, right girlfriends?
Q: What's it like working closely with Lisa, your wife?
A: Just like marriage really only at work I get paid to be bossed around by the missus. So better than marriage I guess, except for the sex. Hasn't always been easy I'll admit as lines can get blurred. But you just gotta work that stuff out to find a happy medium of work and play within your relationship. I'd say now we have a better relationship as a result.
Q: Do you mind working with so many women?
I'm used to it... I work with women and then go home to my wife and daughter, so it's fair to say that I'm surrounded by women! This doesn't leave much time for grunting, beating the chest or sharing my 'expert' knowledge on sport, but I try.
We have a great team at Hotmilk and we only employ the best people who meet all of the Hotmilk beliefs. In this case they just happen to be women; they're great colleagues and we all bring a real energy to the business.
Q: As a man, what is it like working in lingerie?
Well it's interesting to say the least and it certainly doesn't provide your typical water cooler conversations.
As a man I came into this thinking Bra = Cups + straps, wind the clock forward a few years and that formula looks quite different (too many components to list here).
The business has evolved incredibly in such a short space of time and it's satisfying to know that we have carved the 'sexy' niche in the market.
Q: what does your wife think of you working at Hotmilk
My wife shares my passion for Hotmilk and she is excited by the prospect of needing to replenish her Hotmilk supplies should the time arise.
I might add she is somewhat amused at times of my knowledge of lingerie, mind you, so am I!
Q: Do you mind working with so many women?
Not really, some of them act like blokes anyway, farting and belching. Actually thats not true but they really are very easy to work with, it’s a great team and we always have a laugh.
Q: As a man, what is it like working in lingerie?
Well I'm adaptable... It can be a little strange at times when people ask what you do. I went from driving diggers and building foundations to working within the lingerie industry, try explaining that!
Q: What's it like working closely with Ange, your wife?
Easier driving diggers.
