Phoebe Paxton & Mark Shiel - 17th May 2021
My experience through Covid has been so different to Mark’s. My work in Corporate Banking meant we have truly never been busier supporting businesses and people at such a hard and unprecedented time and trying to keep up with Government Schemes etc. was quite some work.
Working from home full time has its challenges in terms of being able to switch off or finish work but moving then renovating a house has certainly proved easier with being around all the time! Things will definitely be different and permanently in my view but I am very much enjoying the easing of restrictions too be able to see friends and family properly again.

For me the pandemic was the first time in a very long time where I just stopped. Working in hospitality means long hours, late nights and hard shifts so to find myself stuck in the house suddenly unable to get out and do things was strange and a fairly hard adjustment at first. It did however give me the time to finally do some work and decorate where we lived at the time so when the house we had looked at for so long came on the market we were able to sort things very quickly being ready to sell ours - without lockdown we wouldn’t have been able to do this.
Work is back open and vaccines are in full swing so I’m hopeful that this is the way back to
normality.
