Friends, I need help! At @oxfordrobots we are struggling to find the right person to fill a role that is perfect for someone out there, but it's hard to know who. This is a job that will suit someone with events organisation experience and who is excited by robots/tech.

My parents had well below average salaries in Denmark yet not once in my entire childhood was it cold in our home. I have genuinely never felt cold inside before moving to the UK for uni. In Britain even rich people's houses are cold, it's mad!
