Interview with A Space in the City Accounts and Administration team - Vicki Jones!

Its that time again in A Space in the City world! Vicki Jones, who very deftly handles our accounts and administration has agreed to give the blogger team an exclusive interview! So whilst taking a break from her busy day, we managed to slip in a few questions about her time at A Space in the City and her interests away from the office.

So first things first, the work stuff:

How long have you worked for A Space in the City?
- Well I was one of the first, so to be exact, 4 years, 2 months and 5 days!

And what would you say is your favourite thing about your job?
-As we're only a small company I really enjoy the camaraderie of the office and the close knit team spirit. We all try our best to help each other and we get along great!

Whats your previous background in accounts?
- I started working for the company doing admin and reservations, but then moved over to Accounts as the company expanded and we started taking on more team members.

In all the time you have worked for A Space in the City, what has been your favourite moment?
- A few years ago, we had our first team outing on a speed boat across Cardiff bay which was a bit scary but so much fun!

Well that's enough of work info! What's your favourite food and favourite place to eat it?
-I love a nice curry, and it has to be the amazing mango and chicken curry from the Raj Kinara in Rhoose, yum!

So its a lazy Sunday afternoon, what would you most like to be doing?
- Lazy Sundays are just made for curling up on the sofa in front of the Eastenders omnibus.

Good call! next question; If I handed over £1000 to you right now, how would you spend it?
- I'd put it towards my favourite holiday destination of Mexico. I went for two weeks recently and it was heaven!

What's the strangest dream you've ever had?
- I had some very strange dreams in Mexico. I dreamt my husband had a huge Daffy duck tattooed all the way down his arm as a joke!

And finally, as its such a wonderful city, what would you say is your favourite spot in Cardiff?
-On a sunny day I love to walk across the barrage from Penarth to Cardiff bay and then have a drink outside the Millennium centre. Its a really good place for people watching!

Favourite Restaurant in Cardiff Bay?


Has to be Bellini’s so far-especially their awesome Bellini cocktails!



Favourite Bar in Cardiff town centre?


The Live Lounge and O’Neill’s for its great live music!

If you could only visit one place in Cardiff where would it be?

I would definitely recommend Cardiff Castle and Bute Park on a nice sunny summers day and also Mermaid Quay as there is so many different places all in one location

Best nightclub in Cardiff town centre?


Retro’s for its cheesy 80’s tunes and free entry before 11pm.

Best place for a family to go with young children?

How about Techniquest-the science museum, or St Fagan’s for some traditional Welsh Heritage or when the weather is wet-The Red Dragon Centre for some bowling/eating/cinema and Dr Who fanatics!

Favourite thing to do on a sunny day in Cardiff?



Get  myself down to Mermaid Quay for some people watching, then all day 241 cocktails at Las Iguanas, and get on a powerboat ride to blow the cobwebs outta your hair!
