Name: Emily Howe
Job title: Development Services Supervisor
Location: London Studio

How and when did you join the company?

I applied for my position through an agency. I saw the job description online and immediately knew it was right for me. I have been with SCEE for 18 months now.

What does your role involve?

I love to organise, which is perfect as this job role requires just that. One day I could be arranging travel for a team, the next, I could be putting together an event for a game release or a private business meal followed by ordering merchandising or in-house catering for internal meetings. I love the fact that my job provides me with such variety.

What skills did you need to get started in this industry?

Previous managerial experience is required as I supervise our studio’s Reception Administrator and Office Services Assistant. It is important to be able to prioritise and meet tight deadlines.

What tips do you have for anyone wanting to enter your area of the business?

Communication is key. You need to be able to build a solid working rapport with internal departments and externals suppliers. It’s a great way to meet lots of new people.

Describe your gaming prowess in three words

... erm... exceptionally magnificently basic!

What would be your 'desert island' game?

It's a close call between "Buzz" and "SingStar"... I think "Buzz", as it challenges the mind and would help to keep me sane. Besides, if I had to share the island, I don't think I would be doing myself any favours with my singing.
