SIX-tea questions - We chat to the Hexagon team over a cuppa
We talk a lot about the Hexagon team and how their personal and professional approach makes all the difference to helping our tenants. So, what better way to get to know them more than our SIX-tea session where we ask them sixty quick fire questions over a cuppa.
The team talk candidly about juggling work and life, give an insight into what makes them tick as well as their favourite foods and the strangest package they’ve had to sign for. Think Vogue 73 questions but Hexagon style!
