Lola the Cockapoo

Lola, our office dog, is an instrumental part of Stormsaver. Not only does she bring a wealth of experience in finding the best snack, but she is always on hand to provide support. Lola is often found visiting each team to see who will give her snacks, she also enjoys her daily lunch time walks. Her fun, lively personality makes her the perfect office dog.

Roxy the Cavapoo

Roxy the Cavapoo is our office dog and Team Storm mascot! Ever vigilant she always lets us know when the postman is arriving and delivery drivers are at the door. She can often be found asleep on Marta's desk or running up and down the office at lunchtime searching for who has the best lunch.

Roxy has her own hashtag #roxythecavapoo and regularly features on our social media. She is a calm, mostly sleepy pooch who lifts the spirits of the whole team and helps to make Stormsaver a fun and relaxing place to work. It is well known that dogs promote a good sense of well being and can improve mental health and so she is an important part of our team.
