On the Spot with Amy Bullock

When I was a teenager, I worked every Sunday at the National Canine Defence League. I would be there from 6am until 3pm; walking, feeding and cleaning the centre's rescue dogs. It was a good Sunday if I was allocated to the puppy area.

What was your worst mistake?

Not relocating to Leeds sooner. I really enjoy the energy of the city as well as being close to the countryside.

If you weren't in your present job, what would you like to do?

I always wanted to be a meteorologist. I was in the Caribbean on holiday when our resort was struck by a hurricane. I was petrified, but since then I have always been obsessed by the weather, particularly extreme weather.

What is your ideal day away from the office?

A day spent enjoying the great outdoors, followed by a good pub lunch.

Name one person you would like to have dinner with, and why?

Madonna – she is a modern icon who leads a truly fascinating lifestyle.

What was your best subject at school?

Science – I have always had a scientific mind and take a keen interest in understanding how things work. My friends and colleagues often call me a geek.

What would you do if you won the Lotto?

My big extravagance is holidays. I love experiencing different cultures, learning about new customs and meeting new people – winning the Lotto would allow me to do this on a much larger scale.

What are your hobbies?

At the weekend I love to go walking, horse-riding and enjoy a good game of badminton. I also love to travel.

What is your top time-saving tip?

Keep your email inbox under control. Deal with emails and file them when you have actioned them. If not, it is easy to become extremely disorganised.

What is your favourite time of day?

I enjoy early mornings. I always look forward to the challenges ahead – the possibilities are endless.

What is the best thing about Yorkshire?

The landscape.

What would you epitaph be?

Labor omnia vincit – "Hard work conquers all".

Amy Bullock, manager of Legal Division, Sellick Partnership Leeds.
